Mr. Chairman, we will vote in favour of this amendment, because that is my party's position, but I have a real problem with this. I want to ensure that I have understood correctly what we are talking about.
Currently, with regard to an admissible defence before the courts, it is possible to challenge the operation of detection technologies and the document issued at the end attesting that the individual's blood alcohol concentration exceeded the level set out in the act.
However, imagine that I'm in a bar in Montreal along with the nice and attractive Ms. Brunelle, and I drink five glasses of alcohol and ask Ms. Brunelle to say in her testimony that my blood alcohol concentration was not as high as the device indicated. This kind of evidence would no longer be admissible.
