Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present, and the first is from petitioners from the city of Toronto.
As summer is upon us and a lot of people are on their bikes and walking on the street, the petitioners are concerned about street safety.
The petitioners want to see the federal government make sure that heavy trucks and trailers have side guards installed, which is good for the environment and saves lives of cyclists and pedestrians. They note that Jenna Morrison's life might have been saved had the truck had a side guard.
Before any more senseless death occurs, the petitioners urge the federal government to introduce legislated regulations under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act to require aerodynamic side guards for trucks and trailers.
