Justice Minister Gord Mackintosh unveils a tougher prosecutions policy for repeat drunk drivers increasing jail likelihood. First offenses face 600 dollar fines and one year driving ban, while repeat offenders face 14 day jail terms for second and 90 days for third or subsequent offences. Federal legislation raises manslaughter by impaired driving to up to life with 14 year minimum. Proposals also extend impound from 30 to 60 days for BAC .15 and 120 day vehicle loss for repeat offenders.
