Mr. Chair, thank you.

And I thank the commissioner and assistant commissioner for coming here today.

I think that any strategy to prevent drugs in our prison system needs to include both deterrence and also rehabilitation programs, so I'm glad we're taking a balanced approach.

I see we've allocated $122 million funding over five years. Is that $122 million dedicated solely to the detection and deterrence part of it?

Secondly, what results have we seen from 2008 until now? Did you have some stats before 2008, and what were the results after 2008?

See context to find out what was said next.
