Ok, I don't think that this has shown up on here yet and it's a little old but it hasn't had first vote either. The lunatic Liberal MP Jim Karygiannis thinks that this was a good bill to draft...and somebody voted this guy into office?

Karygiannis’ Bill will help stop Highway Carnage

OTTAWA - The Honourable Jim Karygiannis, Member of Parliament for Scarborough-Agincourt, stood in the House of Commons today to re-introduce a Private Member’s Bill which will help to stop the carnage on our highways - “An Act to amend the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (speed limiters)”.

“Each summer, we witness carnage on our highways caused by excessive speed.” said Mr. Karygiannis. “This legislation will require all vehicles manufactured after January 1, 2010, to be equipped with speed limiters so that the vehicles cannot travel at more than 150 kilometres.”

Mr. Dan McTeague, the Member of Parliament for Pickering-Scarborough East, seconded Mr. Karygiannis’ Bill.

“Our roads and highways are not race tracks. There is absolutely no need for cars to go any faster than this.” said Mr. McTeague. “Speeding reduces one’s ability to manoeuvre or stop the car safely and decreases reaction time in hazardous situation.”

According to Transport Canada, 2,889 Canadians died in vehicle collisions in 2006 (latest reporting year). Transport Canada also reports that speeding was involved in close to two-thirds of these accidents.

“There is no reason for your vehicle to be able to travel at 200 plus kilometres. That is twice the posted speed limit.” Mr. Karygiannis commented. “One Canadian is killed in a motor vehicle accident every three hours. We have to stop this bloodbath!”
