I can address that today.
Here in Ottawa, in December 2002 and January 2003, the RCMP worked with the Ottawa city police department and eventually dismantled a clandestine drug laboratory that was producing ecstasy in the east end of Ottawa. The Ottawa city police executed several general warrants under the provision of the Criminal Code in an effort to wait until there was final product available in the lab. When the clandestine lab was first entered by the Ottawa city police department, this gentleman had amassed over 400 kilos of precursor chemicals, glassware, equipment, and literature on producing drugs. But to stop the process.... At that point in time there had been no offence committed, other than possibly poor or illegal storage of hazardous chemicals.
