A conviction for impaired causing bodily harm was upheld and in doing so the Manitoba Court of Appeal reviewed some of the 2018 amendments to the Criminal Code, and also quoted this from the trial:

Nothing improper occurred in this trial as the toxicology expert was unshaken in her testimony as to an extrapolation of the accused’s blood alcohol level at the time of the crash and that “a hundred percent of the population is intoxicated at a concentration of a hundred milligrams percent.” R. v. Courchene, 2020 MBCA 68
