Mr. Speaker, that is incredible. It sounds like they are waiting for deaths to occur before taking action.
Unfortunately, the death toll resulting from the delayed recall of GM vehicles is rising. To date, GM has acknowledged its responsibility in 107 deaths and 199 cases of injury linked to defective ignition switches. It is time for the government to step up to the plate before other tragedies occur.
I will repeat my question: when will Transport Canada finally have the authority to issue recalls?
