I'm thinking about all of the people injured and killed in motor vehicle collisions in our city and the awful grief of their loved ones and the trauma of survivors of motor vehicle collisions.

I'm also thinking about all of the pedestrians and cyclists who have been seriously injured this year in Ottawa and who will have to live with life altering injuries and trauma.
