Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to table petition e-516 on behalf of Mothers Offering Mutual Support.
The petitioners are calling on the Minister of Public Safety to conduct a full review of the use of ion scanners in prisons, and to explore alternative measures of keeping drugs out of prison, given the extremely high rates of false positives and the impact that has on the rehabilitation of inmates as it causes problems with visits from family and friends. We know that is an important component to rehabilitation, and consequently to ensuring public safety.
I am very pleased to work with them and to table this petition on their behalf today.
