Ontario’s Minister of Transportation Prabmeet Sarkaria announced new legislation on Wednesday that would impose tough new punishments for those caught driving impaired in the province. If passed into law, it would include a lifetime license suspension for those convicted of impaired driving causing death, as well as installing an ignition interlock device for anyone convicted of impaired driving. There is “no excuse for driving drunk,” the minister stated.
