examines licensing, police enforcement powers, license suspensions and revocations, as well as vehicle sanctions and remedial programs. It also includes The MADD Canada Model 2003, which identifies a package of measures that hold the greatest promise for substantially reducing impaired driving. The underlying principles to effective provincial impaired driving laws can be found in The MADD Canada Model 2003. These principles are:

• Obtaining and holding a licence is a privilege and not a right. • Traffic authorities must be empowered to take action to prevent tragedies, not just react after the event by sanctioning those responsible. • The police need broader investigatory authority to efficiently detect impaired drivers and obtain admissible evidence. • Administrative proceedings are far more expedient, efficient and inexpensive than penal MADD Canada and author of the review. “The sanctions, and more appropriate for the greatest progress has been made in graduated regulatory issues relating to the licensing of licensing programs, provincial suspensions for drivers, vehicle sanctions and remedial federal impaired driving offences, and alcohol programs. interlock, vehicle impoundment and remedial • Public safety should be given the highest programs.

• Members from every Party are committed to raising the issue in the respective Caucuses and initiating a discussion about what can be done about the crime. • Members promised to write and contact the Minister of Justice to raise the issue of new impaired driving legislation. • Members promised to look into the introduction of Private Members’ Bills.

In the week following our visits, MP Loyola Hearn introduced a Private Members motion in the House of Commons; Minister David Kilgour made inquiries of his cabinet colleagues, and MP John Maloney wrote the Justice Minister to prod him to act soon.

Chapter Notebook

MADD Canada’s National Chapter Leadership Conference is taking place September 26-28, 2003 in Scarborough, Ontario. Our theme this year is One Voice. Chapter representatives, Community Leaders and Youth Leaders will be attending workshops and seminars to update them on ways to make a difference in their communities. Workshops for professional development as well as training in legislative initiatives are offered. Recipients of MADD Canada’s National Awards will be announced and honoured at Saturday evening’s Awards Dinner. Deadline for the nominations for the National Awards is July 31, 2003.

Signs of Summer: As Canadians enjoy their summers on the roads and waterways, MADD Canada’s Signs of Summer campaign reminds them “Don’t Drink and Drive”. Members have been distributing posters and postcards with this important message throughout their communities. More posters are available by contacting the National Office, Chapter Services.

Families should not have to worry about how many drinks you've had before you hit the road.

Here We Grow Again: Earlier this year we welcomed our first Chapter in the Yukon – MADD Whitehorse Chapter. Recognizing the difference that MADD Canada can make in a community, dedicated Whitehorse residents worked very hard for many months to get community support and form a Chapter Board. These efforts have brought new energy to fighting the crime of impaired driving in the Yukon. We are grateful for all the fine work being achieved in the Territory.

In the Atlantic Region, we welcomed new Community Leaders. Glenda and Irving Hale, former members of the MADD Sarnia/Lambton Chapter, moved to Newfoundland and are now representing the North Central Newfoundland district as MADD Canada Community Leaders. In Sussex, New Brunswick, Scott Hoyt is now a Community Leader and spreading the word in his area.

Our Regional Chapter Services Managers have been very busy with requests and inquiries about starting new Chapters or being a Community Leader. More Chapters and Community Leaders are expected later this year, specifically in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, and the Province of Quebec. Page Five MATTERS Across the country
