I don't see this law as changing that. Yes, there are people who are being injured and people whose lives are being lost, and that's incredibly tragic, but we can't put that ahead of the charter. I know that's a difficult thing to think about, and I know that's a controversial statement to make, but we have to balance everything. We can't forget we have a charter just because there are tragic stories. We saw that in British Columbia in its first iteration of the immediate roadside prohibition scheme, which was enacted in response to a very tragic death of a two-year-old girl. We saw that law being found unconstitutional because it violated the charter. We need to remember that, even though there are tragic situations taking place every day on our roads, the charter still exists, and whatever we do has to be charter compliant.
