Read the current statute at http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-254.html The only breathalizer anticipated under current law is for alcohol. Read the bill in its latest version at http://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/bill/C-46/royal-assent It only still only provides for a breathalizer for alcohol. It allows for physical coordination tests for drugs and alcohol, breath for alcohol or "bodily substance" for drugs. Ergo, to have an approved drug breathalizer in Canada that cops can use will require the statute to be amended. Legislature will have to respond to market.
