Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise today to present petitions on behalf of 171 Canadians from Alberta and British Columbia regarding impaired driving causing death. These citizens want to see tougher laws and the implementation of new mandatory minimum sentencing for those persons convicted of impaired driving causing death.
These petitioners also want the Criminal Code of Canada to be changed to redefine the offence of impaired driving causing death as vehicular manslaughter.
