All right.
The fact remains that what the inmates are injecting is still a drug that was brought in illegally.
Basically, we wouldn't need needles if drugs were not coming into the penitentiaries.
To deal with this, we've already talked about having full-body scanners. They would prevent, I am told, the entry of more than 90% of the drugs that are brought in by visitors. They would be scanned automatically.
Don't you think we should focus on that and speed up the installation of the scanners?
I'd also like your opinion on the clear opinion expressed by Correctional Service Canada officers. In their view, the Prison Needle Exchange Program is very dangerous and they have been denouncing this project from the beginning. They are also lobbying for scanners to be available as soon as possible.
What do you have to say to our officers about this?
