HEDY IN THE HOUSE: Opening of the 2nd Session of the 39th Parliament: Vancouver Taser Incident (October 18, 2007)

HANSARD 

Hon. Hedy Fry (Vancouver Centre, Lib.) :

Mr. Speaker, at the Vancouver International Airport on Sunday a visitor from Poland tragically died after RCMP officers jolted him with a taser. This is not the only incident. Last night a Montreal man was also killed by a taser.

Canadians need answers. They need reassurance that the use of tasers is not routine procedure.

Will the government ensure that the RCMP follow clear, proper procedures for restraint and that taser use does not continue to result in such fatalities?
