Quebec Transport Minister Geneviève Guilbault says the province will not be lowering the legal blood alcohol limit despite another coroner’s report released this week urging the province to act.

Quebec is the only province that has not established a legal limit lower than the .08—80 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood—set in the Criminal Code.
