As I understand it, the RCMP are continuing to train DRE officers at this current time. I'm pleased to see the rigorous standards of training because they ensure that those conducting the tests have the skills necessary to do so at a high level of accuracy. I think that's a positive thing.
Will there be some problems in some remote areas where there's no DRE officer? Yes, just as there are major problems in enforcement now where you have rural areas and relatively scarce police enforcement resources.
I accept that it's costly to train, but this legislation will provide a framework, and the training will ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results. So the legislation is a very positive step.
