There is a pretty comprehensive write up on the justice.gc.ca website that would be helpful for most people to get proper info..

C-46 gives the police the ability to test anyone regardless of whether they showed signs of impairment or not while driving. That, to me, removes probable cause from the equation.
I was speaking to a police officer and he mentioned that the CPS was discussing testing every single person that they pull over for any reason.
