A new carbon monoxide detector might make a good Christmas gift.A private members bill has passed at Queen's Park that will soon mandate the alarms in all Ontario homes.
Tory MPP Ernie Hardeman, who pressed for the law since the death of a family from carbon monoxide poisoning in 2008, says it replaces old laws requiring only homes built after 2001 to have the alarms.
The Hawkins-Gignac Act is named in memory of the family who died.
