I'll actually frame this in the context of past discussions I've had with other police services and with other advocates, I'll call them, across the country in other cities. One of the first questions has always been whether the local government supports a service such as an injection service. My experience and my opinion have been basically that without that support, which is fundamental in a democracy, you really have an uphill battle in terms of implementing a service.
I look at the bill, and certainly you'd want the community's input, and you would want input from the police. Those things are all quite reasonable because ultimately, as I've said, at some levels, locally it's a political decision. In Vancouver, you have to remember that back in 2002 we had three civic parties in that election, and all three of them supported the SIS. The party that came out on top was the most vigorous in its support, but all three were saying that they would implement an SIS.
Again, the voters of Vancouver at that time were not choosing—and we had a very high vote turnout—one side or the other. All sides of the question were supporting having such a facility open.
