During the initial debates about the law, there was argument that unlike driving impaired by alcohol, impairment by cannabis is less clear, Pfefferle wrote. The argument was that impaired driving is much more clear if alcohol is detected in the system, since it’s closely connected to impairment and has been studied repeatedly by toxicologists.
“The fact remains that Parliament saw fit to make it so that if an individual is driving a motor vehicle with a certain blood-alcohol level or certain levels of narcotics including cannabis, that they could be convicted if they are in a motor vehicle accident with those drugs in their system. Because that is the law, currently anyone driving a motor vehicle with cannabis in their system, whether it is latent or due to recent consumption, they could be charged and ultimately convicted.
