Are you concerned at all about a potential increase in crime related to an injection site in a particular area? The reason I ask that question is that in the first hour we had two witnesses, and one of them asked which neighbourhood would be sacrificed. He went on to talk about the fact that illicit and illegal drugs will be transported in and around that area. In fact, he talked about a perimeter, or even a border, that goes around an injection site that will allow someone to freely walk in that area without any ramifications from law enforcement. So there were some concerns there. He also talked about increase in other crimes.
The other witness we had in the previous hour said very specifically that in many cases drug addicts support their addiction by committing crimes. He went on to talk about an increase in property thefts, and so on, in particular areas. Of course, as someone in law enforcement, you know that drug dealers will go where markets are.
So having said that, and kind of reiterated what the first witnesses said, are you in agreement with those types of issues pertaining to an injection site?
