A Quebec coroner is recommending the province study reducing the legal blood-alcohol concentration for drivers to .05, but Quebec’s transport minister says lowering the limit is not in the plans.
Coroner Yvon Garneau’s recommendation comes in a report made public today into the 2021 death near Drummondville, Que., of Stéphanie Houle, a passenger in a vehicle driven by someone whose blood-alcohol level was nearly double the Criminal Code limit of .08.
