Already in the existing legislation, we have paragraph 258.1(g), which calls for a certificate of a qualified technician stating that the analysis of each of the samples has been made by means of an improved instrument operated by the technician and ascertained by the technician to be in proper working order by means of an alcohol standard identified in the certificate that is suitable for use with an approved instrument. The policy of the laws, probably for 40 years, is that the way you make sure the machine is working properly is to ensure that it works properly on the alcohol standard first. This is now asking for further information.
I don't want it to be said that we're throwing it out of hand, but we've only seen it for about 30 minutes and certainly haven't had an opportunity to discuss--well, maybe two hours--it with our provincial colleagues and the police, etc.
I am concerned that we might run into a problem. I am not a certified technician. I don't know what this is going to mean.
