"We've talked about the issue and dealing with it in some way, shape, or form," Mike Storeshaw, a spokesman for Justice Minister Vic Toews, told CanWest News Service. Mothers Against Drunk Driving members met with Toews on Monday to push for stiffer penalties. Storeshaw could not specify when a bill would come forward, but he said it will not happen before Parliament breaks for the summer later this month. Andrew Murie, chief executive officer of MADD, said he expects that legislation would permit police to chec blood pressure, eye pupils and coordination. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
