Summary
"In 2009, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights conducted a full review of the issue of impaired driving. The Standing Committee made 10 recommendations of which eight are addressed to the federal government. The Government has accepted these recommendations in principle. Beyond this, the Government believes that the time has come to consider a comprehensive set of reforms. This paper sets out options for responding to the recommendations made by the Standing Committee that would require federal legislation and it raises further options for legislative changes. While this paper deals primarily with impaired operation of motor vehicles, the options that are discussed also have implications for rail, vessel and aircraft modes of transport."--Page 2.
