The legislation prohibiting driving while under the influence of drugs has been in place since the 1920s. The problem is that there has been no mechanism in place to detect it, short of a body fluid sample that we could only get as the result of a crash. With this legislation and the ability to demand that a person undergo an evaluation to ascertain if in fact they are impaired by drugs, quite frankly that's the best of both worlds.
The technology is not there yet. This program is not perfect. It's constantly under revision to ensure that it's the best we can have. Right now it is the best that's out there. But if we get this legislation, we are going to be light-years ahead of any other jurisdiction in North America.
Even though jurisdictions outside of Canada—those being the U.K. and Australia—have drug testing as part of their motor vehicle acts, we'll be ahead of them as well. They can test for specific drugs. In the case of the U.K., they can go through a doctor, who uses his own criteria to determine impairment. He has no formal training in what he's looking for other than to say the person is not well and maybe it's because of drugs.
This is the only program that ties in impairment, drug categories, and driving. If we get this, we're going to be the envy of the world.
