Reading the statute currently and in proposed Royal Assent form that I posted below, the only breath test an officer can and will be able to use is for alcohol. The legislature will have to revisit later on. My point is, market should have known this as of April 2017 when bill was proposed. The reason the stock tanked is because Cannabix responded to the Royal Assent version yesterday. The Royal Assent version was available on June 21 and the stock didn't move at all. Therefore, without Cannabix' statement it is doubtful the stock would have moved the way it did. That said, it is helpful they clarified where they sit in context with the law. Here was Cannabix' statement: "It has been well signalled for some time by the Canadian government that a roadside saliva-testing device would be used when Canada legalizes marijuana later this year. The move to use saliva testing, we believe, is because no court accepted breath test device currently exists on the market. This the chief objective of Cannabix and our ongoing advanced product development work. Saliva testing is not a new technology and has been available for many years. There are well documented issues with saliva testing including its ability to effectively identify impaired individuals and operate in cold weather conditions, to name a few. Of note, the Vermont Senate Judiciary Committee recently rejected a bill authorizing the use of saliva testing in traffic enforcement, amid concerns of scientific validity, accuracy, and infringement on civil liberties. Cannabix believes that an accurate breath test for THC is the future for law enforcement and workplace testing, as it is less invasive and will look to provide superior sensitivity to better determine impairment. The Company has received significant interest for its technology from police and companies in the U.S., Canada and elsewhere. As the issue of drugged driving becomes increasingly acute, Cannabix is committed to using its technology, R&D and scientific experience to provide effective tools to aid law enforcement and help governments and the public transition to marijuana legalization in various jurisdictions. Cannabix is a well funded Canadian company that is rapidly developing is FAIMS-based marijuana breathalyzer."
