We couldn't help but notice that Parliament Hill staffers and MPs use the CSA approved, safer Multi Function Activity Vehicles (MFAVs) to shuttle around the Parliamentary district.

They certainly don't use 15 passenger vans. The irony is that we are here in Ottawa trying to convince the same Parliamentarians to ban 15 passenger vans for student use and we are surrounded by MFAVs. Rest assured that our politicians are safe when they travel around Parliament Hill. Don't you think our children deserve the same safe mode of travel?
