This morning I talked to the Minister and explained a story about what stirred this Member’s statement, that I had been recently contacted on Sunday by a constituent who actually saved a young person, potentially even their life or at least from serious injury, because a vehicle went around the corner and could have hit them. Now, Mr. Speaker, I can give other examples as well, but I brought that specific example to the Minister.
Mr. Speaker, why is this becoming a trend across the country and why is this even becoming a trend in the U.S., because they say that the National Transport Safety Board of the U.S. bans their employees from using cell phones while driving. So, Mr. Speaker, the evidence seems to be very clear and definitely pointing in one direction, which is banning the use of cell phones while driving
vehicles. So, Mr. Speaker, what will it take this Minister to consider this type of legislation and move forward on this issue as opposed to being asleep on it?
