Thank you, Madam Chair. I would just like to speak briefly in favour of amendments put forward by the Member for Yellowknife North. I think this is like seatbelts, as the Member indicated. People learn good habits. I have a daughter and a granddaughter. When you look at the statistics that were provided to us, it is very clear that the biggest victims are children. Most accidents are caused during the daylight hours and there are no lights on. If the majority of accidents occur in towns, villages and cities, I can't fathom not wanting to support something that is going to save us money as a society and, more importantly, as the Member for Yellowknife North indicated, save lives. It is a very straightforward amendment, You can't argue with the figures, in my mind. We are in a budget-cutting mode. Here is something that could possibly save our systems a lot of money, so I fully support this. Once we are through general comments, I have a question or two I would like to ask.
