From a principle point of view, do you think this bill should be amended to protect people at the scene from being entangled with the law and not one particular aspect of it? If our purpose is to encourage people to call, we should give immunity around the whole suite of drug-related offences. Why are we only picking out possession and leaving people vulnerable to being charged with trafficking—which I'll get to in a minute—which involves just sharing drugs? So people who share drugs aren't going to be calling 911 or people with warrants for their arrest. By the way, many people who are drug users are in breach of their probation if they are using drugs, so they're not calling 911. If we leave those things aside, we're not doing everything we can to encourage the calling of 911, which is what we want to do to save Austin's life and the lives of others like him. Am I missing something there?
