Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to take this opportunity very quickly to correct some information that was given to the committee at a previous session regarding the increase in impaired driving in Colorado. I have two letters here from the states of Colorado and Washington to the Attorney General of the United States that specifically say the increased detection was due to different methods that were in place, which were not in place before legalization. In Colorado, in a six-month period in 2016 compared with the same six-month period in 2017, impaired driving due to marijuana actually decreased by 21%. I will offer copies of both these correspondences to the clerk for distribution to all interested members.
Thank you. I will go on with my questioning. I just want to clarify something. I wasn't sure if I understood. This is directed to the Vancouver Police Department. Thank you so much for testifying.
Were you stating that with the scheme for 12 to 17-year-olds, the ticketing scheme did not apply to that population, that this ticketing only applied to people over the age of 18? Did I misunderstand?
