I just want to add that unlike police officers, drug traffickers and pushers, along with pimps, as referred to by the person sitting next to me at the table, are not subject to a code of ethics. That is an important distinction to make. Indeed, it is increasingly the case that under current law, policing responsibilities are conferred upon agencies or officers that are not subject to the same code of ethics. In such cases, this could almost be considered contracting out. Indeed, these responsibilities could even be entrusted to a federal public officer, for example, who is not subject to a code of ethics. Of course, he is not a pimp, but he has neither the experience nor the same code of ethics as a police officer. We believe that is another issue we will soon be facing.
Finally, as for your comment about small towns, I believe the provincial police have teams of undercover officers that generally move around. When there is a need to infiltrate a specific group, that can be done effectively.
