It sounds as though some people are under the influence of alcohol here in Committee. The party is about to begin!
Ms. Beauchesne, when the minister appeared, he talked about two new tests—the standardized sobriety tests and the drug recognition tests. You seem to be saying that all of that will be very costly and that there is no evidence to suggest they will be easy to enforce, and could in fact be totally ineffective.
Two points that you raised in your testimony are of interest to me. You said that the most effective tests may be the simplest ones. You reminded us that roadside tests that measure reflex acuity, which are filmed and can serve as evidence, are probably the most effective ones of all. I would like you to say a little bit more about that. Perhaps we could table an amendment to the bill with respect to the national registry.
In your brief, which I read in bed last night, I noted there were a lot of references to removing people's driving licences as more of a disincentive than anything else. Representatives of the Canada Safety Council also talked about that. Again, perhaps you could talk about the merits of revoking people's driving licence and tell us how the national registry you referred to would work.
Those are my questions for you, but I have others for the fascinating lawyers seated next to you.
