Reid calls for use of notwithstanding clause on drunk driving
Alberta Solicitor General Ian Reid urges invoking the notwithstanding clause after a Supreme Court ruling requiring police to inform suspects of their rights and a Court of Queen's Bench decision striking down 24 hour suspensions. He says these rulings hinder police in catching drunk drivers while arguing most Albertans support removing dangerous drivers from roads. He cautions not to misread rulings that demand due process and counsel before breath tests.
