Thank you, Chair.
We all agree we don't want to have drugs in prison. That's a given. In the report from the Office of the Correctional Investigator, he said:
...the introduction of ion scanners has failed to have any significant impact on the rate of positive random urinalysis drug testing results. The rate has remained stable despite significant investments in new detection...and surveillance technologies designed to stop drugs from entering federal institutions.
I don't know if you have any other statistics that bear that out, but that's what he was saying, that these haven't worked to reduce drug use in prison. I wanted to get that on the record.
Why does CBSA not use the ion scanners on people? You said you used them on luggage and items, why not on people?
