The province has said it will be looking at stricter penalties for those who drink and drive.
Despite the tragedy in Grande Prairie this past weekend where four teens were killed by an alleged drunk driver, Alberta's solicitor general, Jonathan Denis, said there were no plans to push through legislation.
"Obviously we want act as soon as possible," Denis said, "But we want to make sure we get it right the first time."
Denis told CTV News that the province may not necessarily follow in the footsteps of B.C. which passed what has been considered as the toughest impaired law in Canada.
Legislation in B.C. states anyone who registers about .08 on a breathalyzer test would automatically banned from driving for three months, and a $500 fine. The driver would also have their vehicle impounded for 30 days.
"We want to look at that and see if we can replicate that here," Denis said.
"I think that best public policy is usually formed by looking at all the issues," Denis said, "and just because B.C. is doing something doesn't mean that we want to follow exactly what they're doing."
However police in B.C. say the message still isn't getting through to many drivers.
In fact, at a recent checkstop in Vancouver 98 of the 524 drivers stopped were found to have been drinking.
"You're talking about one out of every five people almost being impaired," Const. Lindsey Houghton said.
Earlier this month Premier Alison Redford said she was looking at increasing penalties for those found guilty of impaired driving, adding the issue was something she has been concerned about since she was a justice minister.
