The reality is that many of us gathered here probably take some medication. I take insulin as a diabetic, I take Aspirin to make sure my heart stays good, and I take a drug to lower cholesterol. Each one of these drugs has killed. We know that, but I still take them, because when you have to balance the risk of that illness or death occurring versus the benefits to me as an individual, they still come out in my favour. So I think there are a lot of products out there about which we don't have all the answers. Drugs would be a big one where we don't have all the answers, yet we still use them.
I share your concern about the deployment of tasers. I have no expertise on when they should be deployed, and it would be improper of me to even go there. But as a Canadian, I would like to be assured that they're being used by the properly trained people in the right circumstances.
If what you're describing in B.C. happened, that's not the way they should be used. Again, I don't know all the circumstances.
