Mr. Speaker, I do believe it will be a deterrent by sending out the specific message that street racing is against the law.
Not only would this be a deterrent in terms of this particular legislation, but it would dovetail very nicely with other provincial legislation. Members of my caucus from southern Ontario tell me that they receive complaints about this very regularly from constituents. Street racing is by far and away one of the most leading complaints made by constituents. In certain provinces, like Ontario, there are some provincial laws against the driver but also against the vehicle. It can be seized and destroyed.
This bill could complement existing provincial legislation and work very effectively.
