If I may add, Mr. Chair, over the course of the last year I had the opportunity to talk to many police officers, and some of our own colleagues are former police officers. They've told me that to deal with drug issues and related mental health issues is very difficult. So this is putting a lot of burden and asking a lot of resources of our police officers to tackle those issues. I think we should be looking at the prevention measures the minister is putting forward instead of having to tackle these individuals, sometimes in a criminal matter.
