N2  - This paper examines the potential legal implications of lowering the Criminal Code BAC limit in Canada, particularly for enforcement, prosecution and sentencing. It also examines how a lower federal BAC limit would interact with various provincial and territorial highway traffic statutes, which impose short-term roadside licence suspensions on drivers with BACs of 0.05% or higher, or who are believed to be impaired. While none of the implications poses a barrier to lowering the Criminal Code limit, certain complementary legal changes would make this lower limit more effective and easier to enforce.<p />
