Critical Analysis — What This Bill Actually Does
Rewrote Canada's impaired driving laws. Introduced mandatory roadside breath testing — police can now demand a breath sample from any driver stopped lawfully, without grounds to suspect impairment. This eliminated the previous requirement for reasonable suspicion before demanding a sample, representing a significant shift in the balance between individual rights and law enforcement authority.
