An Act to amend the Criminal Code (offences relating to conveyances) and to make consequential amendments to other Acts (French: Loi modifiant le Code criminel (infractions relatives aux moyens de transport) et apportant des modifications corrélatives à d’autres lois), also known as Bill C-46, is an act of the Parliament of Canada that was introduced in the House of Commons by Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Raybould in 2017, alongside the Cannabis Act. The act increases police powers related to impaired driving—including authorizing mandatory alcohol screening, without suspicion that the person is impaired—and it increases the maximum punishments for driving related offences in the Criminal Code.
