Here, I did your homework for you:
Quote:
24-hour disqualification re alcohol or drug
89(1) If a peace officer reasonably suspects that the driver of a
motor vehicle has consumed alcohol or otherwise introduced into
the driver’s body any alcohol, drug or other substance in such a
quantity so as to affect the driver’s physical or mental ability, the
peace officer may require the driver to surrender the driver’s
operator’s licence to the peace officer.
(2) On being required by a peace officer to surrender the driver’s
operator’s licence under subsection (1), the driver
(a) is disqualified from driving a motor vehicle in Alberta,
and
(b) shall forthwith surrender the driver’s operator’s licence, if
the driver is the holder of an operator’s licence, to the
peace officer.
(3) The refusal or other failure of a driver to surrender an
operator’s licence under subsection (2) does not prevent the
disqualification from driving from taking effect.
(4) A disqualification from driving arising pursuant to this section
terminates at the end of 24 hours from the time that the
disqualification came into effect.
(5) Notwithstanding subsection (4), if the disqualification from
driving arises in respect of the use of alcohol and the driver
voluntarily,
(a) at a place designated by the peace officer, undergoes a test
the purpose of which is to show the proportion of alcohol
in the driver’s blood, and the result of that test indicates
that the proportion of alcohol in the driver’s blood does
not exceed 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of
blood, or
(b) produces to the peace officer a certificate signed by a
physician stating that the driver’s blood, as tested by the
physician after the commencement of the disqualification
from driving, did not contain more than 80 milligrams of
alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood,
the peace officer shall forthwith return the operator’s licence, if
any, to the driver and the disqualification from driving is
terminated.

Section (5) is the important one here. It states that if your BAC is determined to be below .08, the officer must return your license and any temporary suspension is immediately lifted. So, as I said above, being below .08
IS NOT an offence.
