We need breathalyzer testing on demand
Marjory LeBreton, a former leader of the Conservatives in the Senate, has a family tragedy in her past: her daughter and grandson were killed by a drunk driver.
LeBreton is unhappy that her former Senate colleagues have voted to gut Bill C-46, which gives police the right to stop a vehicle and demand that the driver submit to a roadside breathalyzer test, without having to show reasonable grounds, as is now the case.
The Senate majority said this new power was an unreasonable extension of police powers in a democratic country.
Are they right?
