I think it is a good question and I think the explanation by Madam Boivin is a good one. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3932688\" data-originallang=\"en\">The proposed provision says \u201cvehicle includes\u201d and then it lists a number of specific types of vehicles. From an administrative perspective, I think police officers and the courts are going to understand that the definition is going to be read consistently with the definition of motor vehicle in section 2.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3932689\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I think the proposal is a good one, but I think it provides enough clarity in the law as it presently exists. </p>",

Du point de vue administratif, je crois que les policiers et les tribunaux vont comprendre que la d\u00e9finition cadre avec celle de \u00ab v\u00e9hicule \u00e0 moteur \u00bb \u00e0 l'article 2.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3932689\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est une bonne proposition, mais je pense que la loi est suffisamment claire dans sa forme actuelle.</p>"
