Mr. Speaker, the hon. member was so lengthy in framing his question it was difficult for me to follow it. The danger with extending the legislation as proposed by the opposition to taking samples upon charge is that it would encourage police to go on a fishing expedition.
We have to protect the rights of the people who may be assumed to be the type that would commit crimes. We believe in this country that you are innocent until convicted and we must not lose sight of that. We must be very careful on how wide a mandate we give the police as far as their powers of arrest are concerned.
