I will paraphrase a bit, but the Wildrose was against a few parts of it. The speed with which it was created and passed, the constitutional issues, and the fact that it redirects police resources towards something that likely will not work.
They propose in stead to increase enforcement of existing DD laws and to push for stiffer penalties for those above 0.08.

According to a 2008 report prepared for Transport Canada, 61.3% of fatalities were caused by drivers without any BAC (mostly caused by speeding or other unsafe driving practices), 22.6% of fatalities were caused by drivers at more than double the legal BAC limit of .08, 10.3% of fatalities were caused by those in the .08 to .16 BAC range, 3.6% by individuals with a BAC between .01 to .05, and only 2.2% of all fatal vehicular accidents were caused by drivers who were found to be in the .05 to .08 BAC range.
