>"In Canada, two levels of government deal with impaired driving. The federal Criminal Code is applied at BACs of .08 and over. In addition, nine of Canada’s 13 provincial and territorial jurisdictions impose administrative licence suspensions on drivers whose BAC is under .08. Those drivers immediately lose their licence for four to 24 hours, longer with subsequent violations."

I leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine which is which.
