moved for leave to introduce Bill C-590, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (blood alcohol content).
Mr. Speaker, I rise to introduce my private member's bill, an act to amend the Criminal Code on blood alcohol content.
The act amends section 22 of the Criminal Code to establish more severe penalties for drunk drivers who have blood alcohol content that exceeds twice the legal limit. The bill would increase penalties for drunk drivers who harm or kill.
