Criminal Code
Bill to Amend—Third Reading—Debate Adjourned
Hon. Gwen Boniface moved third reading of Bill C-46, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (offences relating to conveyances) and to make consequential amendments to other Acts, as amended.

(2040)

Hon. Marc Gold: Honourable senators, as you know, the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs voted to remove all references to mandatory alcohol screening from Bill C-46, and in so doing the committee rejected the central policy change the bill had introduced to combat the scourge of drunk driving in Canada. I believe the committee was wrong to amend the bill as they did.

Motion in Amendment
Hon. Marc Gold: Therefore, honourable senators, in amendment, I move:

That Bill C-46, as amended, be not now read a third time, but that it be further amended in clause 15,

(a)on page 23, by replacing line 35 (as replaced by decision of the Senate on June 4, 2018) with the following:

“320.27 (1) If a peace officer has reasonable grounds to”;

(b)on page 24, by adding the following after line 17:

“(2) If a peace officer has in his or her possession an approved screening device, the peace officer may, in the course of the lawful exercise of powers under an Act of Parliament or an Act of a provincial legislature or arising at common law, by demand, require the person who is operating a motor vehicle to immediately provide the samples of breath that, in the peace officer’s opinion, are necessary to enable a proper analysis to be made by means of that device and to accompany the peace officer for that purpose.”; and

(c)on page 34, by replacing line 18 (as replaced by decision of the Senate on June 4, 2018) with the following:

“conducted under paragraph 320.27(1)(a); and”.

The Hon. the Speaker: In amendment it was moved by the Honourable Senator Gold, seconded by the Honourable Senator Pate, that Bill C-46, as amended, be not now read a third time, but that it be further amended in clause 15 — shall I dispense?

Hon. Senators: Dispense.
