Justice committee  Yes, they use this kit in Australia countrywide.

Justice committee  Yes, they're prepared with cut-off limits. The one used in Australia is the same as those used elsewhere. It had a cut-off limit for THC, for example, of 10 nanograms per millilitre. Last year, in November, this kit was available with five nanograms per millilitre. It had a low

Justice committee  These kits would be roughly $50 U.S.

Justice committee  Yes. In Australia at the moment, there are about a million of these tests used per year. Yes, there are some economies of scale, but there's a limitation on the quality of the antibodies used in the kit. Good-quality antibodies provide for a good-quality test. One would judge the

Justice committee  Yes. It's like that sucker to collect the samples.

Justice committee  Our kit is designed to be a screening tool.

Justice committee  It's go or no-go, above or below the limit. It's quick. Any policeman could do it at the roadside. For that matter, any skilled person could. This kit is designed to collect a sample, which goes into the vial. It's sent off to a forensic laboratory. They do the analysis there, an

Justice committee  Yes, on the presentation, the correlation for oral fluid—saliva—and blood is very tight. The concentration in oral fluid will mimic that of the blood.

Justice committee  Again, one of the screens shows that, with THC, a few minutes after smoking they're running in parallel, meaning the concentration in saliva versus the concentration in the blood. At the time of collection, you have the concentration in the body.

Justice committee  Yes. It's well supported by science.

Justice committee  Sweat is used usually in an industrial safety workplace situation. It's a collection over time and is really looking for the presence of one or more drugs that may be prohibited in the workplace. It's not typically used for any enforcement in drug driving cases.

Justice committee  Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for the opportunity to present some information to the committee. I applaud the committee and the work of the government in the changes being made with Bill C-46. This brings up three areas of comment. The first is related to prop
