that don't actually slow drivers down. Ontario Transport Minister, Prabmeet Singh, Sarkaria, says there are better ways to achieve that goal. Our focus has been on immediate measures that will stop an individual from, speeding as they enter into its own.

It dismissed appeals from two men in New Brunswick convicted of drunk driving.

They challenged who can administer breathalisers and the quality of evidence. In response, the top court released two decisions Friday morning. In separate eight to one rulings, the High Court upheld the convictions against both men and ruled any changes to impair driving cases would go against Parliament's goal of making drunk driving cases simple and efficient.
