moved for leave to introduce Bill C-262, an act to amend the Criminal Code (impaired driving causing death or injury).
Mr. Speaker, this is a practical change that would affect the ability of police officers to gather samples of blood at an accident scene. It could be used in the prosecution of impaired driving cases before the courts. This is a very practical change. It would empower police officers to deal with the very serious and increasingly dangerous situation that exists on the roads and highways of this country.
I would encourage all members of parliament to consider supporting this private member's bill.
