Syllabus

The Canadian statute making it illegal to drive while intoxicated defines an offense equivalent to North Dakota's driving under the influence offense for purposes of N.D.C.C. § 39-06-27(1). The Department has jurisdiction to suspend an operator's license for a conviction under the Canadian statute. A hearing officer does not fail to provide a fair and impartial hearing by holding separate administrative hearings for suspension based on a foreign administrative suspension and foreign criminal conviction.
