The concern I have is that I'm not sure the technology exists. I haven't been told whether it is there. If it is, that's fine. Then we need to have the technology purchased and rolled out into each municipality, along with the training. We were assured, at a meeting with Mr. Blair, that the training is being brought forward from the United States and adapted to Canadian needs, and then it will be presented to the RCMP. What I have been advocating for here, though, is that we need to make sure that this extends to all levels of enforcement in a municipality, and that every single person who will be having a conversation with someone they believe is impaired will be trained to do it respectfully, so we won't be in a circumstance where someone is pulled off the street by someone who doesn't understand what the changes are.
