Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I also would like to speak in favour of this bill, and I won't take up much time. But I know that more and more we're becoming aware of the dangers of alcohol, when you mix alcohol and driving. We have seen much evidence of that over the years. I can only speak back over my lifetime and driving and my experiences and what I have seen happen over the last 30 years or so. There was a time, Mr. Speaker, when even the RCMP was very tolerant when they'd stop somebody and there was alcohol involved. Common practice was to just take the alcohol and let the guy go and whatever. I've seen a lot of evidence of that. But more and more as incidents have happened over the years with individuals being seriously injured or even killed by drunk drivers, the issue has come to a point where we as legislators cannot afford to ignore it.
So I just want to compliment the Minister for bringing this legislation forward. And I think for anybody who may have arguments about the negative side of this, I think we only have to look at what the reality is. That is that as legislators we cannot afford to take any credit for holding up something that is directly related to public safety, and this is all about public safety and safety on our highways. So, again, Mr. Speaker, I won't take up much time, but I will fully be supporting this bill for those reasons. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
