You are a lawyer, I believe. An alcohol level of 0.08 grams per decilitre of blood is the same for a person of the Black or White race or an Aboriginal person. Is there a difference according to the Criminal Code? It is a minimum sentence. If you exceed 0.08 grams per decilitre of blood, you are guilty. A bottle of alcohol is always the same, for a White person, a Black person, an Aboriginal person, as far as I know. Isn’t a minimum sentence, in fact, an equitable measure as far as sex, race, colour, etc.? Are you telling me that some groups drink more than others?
