In the case of the municipal courts, we view the matter somewhat as a form of decriminalization, since the Criminal Code does not apply. We acknowledge in a way that this is a better way to handle impaired driving cases, particularly when there are no deaths or injuries. For that reason, we think, particularly with regard to the 0.05 BAC, that Quebec's Highway Safety Code or Ontario's highway safety code, for example, are really a response to the current situation. The code is an additional tool for police officers. They can use it or not, rely on the 0.05 BAC or on the Criminal Code, depending on the situation. They have a number of tools at their disposal.
