The Premier's Interministry Task Force on Drinking and Driving Report: Drinking and Driving: A Discussion of Countermeasures and Consequences This discussion paper, published on August 18, 1983. Quote from first paragraph, Executive Summary on page (i): "Despite various initiatives by the government of Ontario, the problem of alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents had remained intractable. To spur a new assault on the problem and at the request of a citizen group called: PRIDE, a task force involving nine ministries and chaired by the Attorney General (Honorable Roy McMurtry, Q.C.) was established by the Premier in the FALL OF 1982. A staff committee representing those ministries was given the job of assessing the drinking-driving problem on an international scale as well as the Ontario government's own efforts while attempting to establish liaison with interested and involved private sector groups, industries and professions. This discussion paper has been produced as a summary of arguments for and against the various legal, educational and community-based steps that can be undertaken in Ontario."
