I'd be interested to see a Charter challenge of both the reporting requirement and the suspension power. Is the need to protect public safety really rationally connected to reporting the condition of alcohol dependence, and is the infringement of the privacy expectation reasonably justifiable?

With respect to the suspension it would seem to be a violation of the presumption of innocence.

I know that driving is not a right, but there are rights that are infringed here and I suspect that this oversteps the boundaries.
