I want to say very briefly that I think all members here, and most people who are involved in the justice system in Canada, recognize that there's a significant drug problem in our penitentiaries. I would suggest this clause goes to that issue.
Indeed, I would say to Mr. Harris, I do understand the situation he's discussing. However, they do not have to enter the penitentiary grounds. Once they enter the penitentiary grounds, it is a privilege to be there, and it is not a right. It is a privilege to drive a vehicle in this country, not a right. As a result of that, this is a very reasonable clause, because we have to look at the long-term ramifications of drug use and the rampant necessity of drug use, and in fact at organized crime itself within these penitentiaries. So I think this goes to the very heart of it.
I'm surprised, if he does have an objection to this, that he didn't propose an amendment, as well as in the other five clauses that he has discussed and opposed but not proposed a relevant amendment. That's why this goes to that point, and I think it's a very necessary thing in our penitentiary system today.
