Chief Mark Mander

—but our program has that very system. We've just moved to a 24-hour access system. A physician anywhere can access that system and know what's being prescribed. As well, we have an integration with police so that with our heavy hitters, we can advise the prescription monitoring program, which then advises the physicians that, by the way, this patient they might have seen is selling their drugs. We have that whole system of information sharing, which works quite well.

The Chair Conservative Ben Lobb

Thank you very much.

That wraps up the second round of questioning.

We do have some committee business, so I'd like to thank our witnesses who were here today. That was great information, and you fielded all the questions in a fine manner.

We'll suspend for a minute while our guests leave and then we'll come right back.
