Mr. Speaker, Project Red Ribbon officially started on Parliament Hill today.
This national campaign asks Canadians to display a red ribbon on their vehicle or their car keys, purse, backpack or other personal item.
This red ribbon is a tribute to honour those killed or injured in impaired driving crashes. It also serves as a constant message to people on the roads to drive safe and sober.
MADD Canada hopes the red ribbon will also serve as a reminder to call 911 and take action in ensuring our roads are safe.
We can all agree that impaired driving is not to be tolerated. That is why this government has introduced impaired driving measures within the tackling violent crime act. I urge the House to support this important legislation and I urge Canadians to support MADD's valiant efforts by displaying a red ribbon.
