Madam Speaker, you may recall yesterday I presented petitions signed by over 3,600 British Columbians. Today I have another set of petitions, again dealing with the same issue, signed by 2,881 petitioners. The petitions deal with the whole issue of dangerous driving and the scourge of impaired driving and criminally negligent driving.
The petitioners call upon the government to amend the Criminal Code of Canada to allow a new charge of vehicular homicide. They draw attention to the fact that vehicular homicide needs to be added to the Criminal Code because it is such a scourge to our society.
