Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member’s statement today I raised the issue yet again regarding the concern of distracted driving and the fact that we don’t have an appropriate level of legislation that reflects banning cell phones while people are driving. I continue to raise this issue with

the Minister of Transportation. I am well aware that there is some discussion out there regarding maybe we will have a law, maybe we won’t have a law. Quite honestly, I am starting to wonder that perhaps maybe the Minister is waiting until either cell phones become obsolete or certainly perhaps he is waiting for cars and vehicles to become obsolete before the Department of Transportation will take this issue seriously.

In all honesty, Mr. Speaker, the real question today is: What is the plan of the Department of Transportation in respect to distracted driving? Are they planning on bringing forward any type of legislative amendment to make sure that our roads are safe on this particular issue? Thank you.
