Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your presentation here today.
Following up on Mr. Norlock's questioning, I actually agree with you, Mr. Downes, that from a legal perspective it probably is irrelevant what the number is; it's going to be arbitrary. There are always going to be people who fall on one side of the line or the other.
What is of concern to me is consistent application across Canada, so I want your comments. Following up on the previous question, in provinces such as mine, Alberta, I believe that if one fails the roadside screening device, one is subject to a 24-hour suspension. I don't know if that translates to 0.05 or not. In other jurisdictions, it's a 12-hour suspension. In Quebec, I understand, there's no administrative suspension.
As a national trial lawyers' association, are you not concerned about unequal application of the law, and wouldn't that become equal if it were done by the Criminal Code?
