Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to follow up on Minister Ramsay’s statement today on the Alcohol Ignition Interlock Program. This is something that I had pursued awhile back on behalf of a constituent. I’m just a bit curious about something. The idea of an Ignition Interlock Program and system on vehicles the Minister says will make our roads safer. I’m assuming that these devices would be available to people who would otherwise have their licences suspended and wouldn’t be driving on the road at all. I’m curious about this, because, well, some people in our society and in our communities feel that when people have their driver’s licence suspended for abusing alcohol while behind the wheel, or drinking to over the limit and then getting behind the wheel of a vehicle, should be punished. How does this make our roads safer? That’s what I want to know.
