Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Member opposite will know, not from personal experience, but from his experience as a JP, there currently is, under section 253, an offence of operating a motor vehicle when impaired by alcohol or a drug. What the federal government is attempting to do, as they have done with alcohol where you hear about the 0.08 limit, they are trying to impose a similar scientific limit on the amount of marijuana allowed to be in the system of someone operating a motor vehicle.
The proposed THC level for a summary offence is two nanograms per millilitre of blood, and for a hybrid offence, it is five nanograms. If it is a combination of alcohol and drugs, I think the alcohol limit would be 0.05, which is lower than the current legal limit, and the level is 2.5 nanograms. The 30-day public comment here for the proposed regulations is running until November 13, 2017, so I can't be very certain as to when this important piece of federal legislation will come into law. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
