 There is nothing like the idea that you could lose your child. And so, when I met Laurel Midlar in the course of doing my radio show at TK&W, she touched a very special nerve in me, and as I think she does in the heart of any mother. I take great comfort knowing that this wonderful province of BC, our collective home, has delivered progress that is simply unprecedented. From the moment the legislation was introduced, we saw an immediate dramatic decrease in the number of deaths. I've had to investigate 23 fatal accidents as a police officer. 17 of them were alcohol related, and this year I haven't had to attend anyone's house and tell them that a loved one's never coming home again. The tragic consequences of drinking and driving are all too real and affect all of us. And we all have a responsibility to practice safe behaviors when it comes to drinking and driving. I think it's all about choice. We all make that choice to go for dinner, go and be social. And it's not about stalking those social connections, but it's about being responsible for what you do there. The holiday season coming up now, it's just our hope that everyone will make that commitment so that there are no more tragedies and everyone can enjoy a safe and happy holiday season. There can't be any public safety issue more urgent than this one, because there isn't anything that puts us and our families more at risk than drunk drivers.
