In answer to your initial question, there are six drug treatment court sites in Canada: Vancouver, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Ottawa. And just so you know, I am very supportive of this particular program. It provides an alternative, in my opinion, particularly in areas where drugs are a major problem, for getting youth, usually young people, out of the system and getting them the kind of treatment they need. So I'm not announcing any new drug treatment courts, but as you quite correctly pointed out, I'm asking for funding to support the drug treatment courts we have. Again, I think this is a good idea, and the feedback I generally get on these things is that they make a positive step.
