Debates of , 17th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 20)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do concur with the Minister that it’s something that we have to learn, but the behaviour has to be changed and we have to enforce that. It is our job as a government. I am pleased to see that the Minister has indicated that he will be bringing this forward for a review.

Could the Minister also offer this House his plan to address the low number of these convictions under this distracted driving legislation and provide a meaningful strategy to reduce improper road user behaviour?

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 20)

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. We’ll take that document. Thank you very much. Sergeant-at-Arms, if you could please escort the witnesses out of the Chamber.

We are moving on to section 7. More importantly, turn your attention to page 7-2 on Justice. Before we do that, I’ll ask the Minister of Justice if he has any witnesses that he’d like to bring into the Chamber.
