The measures tend to be of an administrative nature.
For that reason, in the case of a BAC reading of 0.05%, for example, the provinces resort to administrative measures and to regulations where people are asked to enrol in programs to overcome or control their dependency on alcohol.
Other provinces tend to exclude the 0.05% threshold from the Criminal Code. At least that is true in cases where only one code applies. Here we have two codes, the provincial code and the federal code. In countries like Belgium where there is only one code, because there are no provinces like we have here, authorities do not tend to impose a prison sentence when the BAC reading is 0.05%, but rather when levels reach 0.08% or even 0.10% in some cases.
That is the difference. The report, which was updated in 2006, shows that much hasn't changed internationally. Impaired drivers are subject to very harsh sanctions in Canada.
