Drawing on current research and available technology, as well as best practices from around the world, Canada's goal of reducing traffic fatalities due to drug impaired driving will incorporate effective legislation, enforcement based on proven methods of detection paired with increased use of Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, and increased public education and awareness of the effects of Cannabis on driving. 

Canada has taken a proactive approach to this by forming a federal Task Force on Cannabis Legalization and Regulation, which submitted its final report (A Framework for the Legalization and Regulation of Cannabis in Canada) to the Government of Canada on November 30, 2016.
