Drug impaired driving in Canada is a growing area, especially with the legalization of cannabis on the horizon. Understanding the testing used, both chemical and physical, as well as the legal components in constructing a defence for these cases will be critical for practitioners.  Seeing a DRE evaluation, what the officers are looking for, what their qualifications mean and how they apply this to the drug categorization matrix will all be reviewed.  Issues with burdens of proof, charter considerations and common concerns noted by the judiciary are all to be discussed in order to provide a foundation for proper defence.
