Minister of Education,
Progressive Conservative, Calgary-Elbow Byelection Candidate As Unelected

Dear Gordon:

My dad & I are concerned with the lack of proper mudflaps or mudguards on the back of tires of trucks, vans, & heavy duty transport vehicles. These can cause cracks &/or breaks of windshields to vehicles behind & beside these vehicles. Sometimes, even injuries or deaths to the people inside those said vehicles such as students. Presenting a petition on the matter, it seems David Christopherson, MP is in favour of national standards on this issue.

"Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present a petition from Canadians calling on the Government Of Canada to introduce regulations under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act requiring side underrun guards for large trucks & trailers."

Number LXXI (71),

Rory
