Mr. Speaker, this week is road safety week.
We can never stress enough how careful both children and drivers must be on roads and in public places.
Too many Canadian children are lost to the road, unfortunately, every year. The years in which the statistics are lower never compensate for the pain these tragedies bring to all of us.
The government can come up with all sorts of laws and regulations, but without greater community and individual responsibility than we are seeing now it will be to no avail.
Repression will not put an end to all the carelessness on our highways. How many more victims will it take before we recognize that this responsibility is essential in order to spare the lives of our children?
