Justice committee  As I stated before, to the best of my knowledge, and after discussing it with the RCMP, there has never been a lab within the town of Drayton Valley or area.

Justice committee  Thank you.

Justice committee  Whether it's under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act or with the amendment to this bill, I think it certainly will add strength to it. We're really looking for where we can strengthen this and make it extremely difficult for people to access these chemicals.

Justice committee  Thank you. There are a few questions in that question. Certainly that would be a question the RCMP could answer far better than myself. My understanding, though, is that in Drayton Valley proper, the town limits, there have not been any meth labs within the town. I think what yo

Justice committee  Thank you, Ms. Davies, for the question. Certainly on prevention and education we did fantastically. In part, Premier Klein's task force dealt with the lack of treatment facilities within our province, and I would say that lack is probably clear across the country. The trea

Justice committee  Great. How are you doing today, Blaine?

Justice committee  Yes, Mr. Calkins, it is. We were one of the first communities to hire what we called our two-unit drug team, the GIS team. We still have those two members, and I'm very proud to say that other communities around us have also brought in GIS members.

Justice committee  I will certainly talk with our staff sergeant in the RCMP. They have that material. One of the witnesses who also presented was an RCMP member. If you would like to have that information, we can get the information from our local detachment. AADAC would have results and numbers a

Justice committee  I think what makes it original for us is that the whole community came together with this: all of the agencies, the schools, the health and social services, pastors—the entire community pulling together, as our motto is. We were proactive in this. A lot of the communities in Albe

Justice committee  Good afternoon.

Justice committee  Thank you for the question. When we did the prevention and the enforcement, we worked with the RCMP and asked what tools they would find useful as well, so that they would have more success with regard to the enforcement side. That's how we came up with this resolution. I believ

Justice committee  Okay, certainly.

Justice committee  Sitting on our Premier Klein's task force with Dr. Colleen Klein and others on this committee, we came to realize that this was indeed a provincial and Canada-wide problem. In Drayton Valley we had the courage as a whole community, with its whole support, to tackle this problem,

Justice committee  Good afternoon, and thank you for the invitation. I won't take a lot of time. I'll give you a brief understanding of Drayton Valley, and—this is not unique to Drayton Valley—the leadership our community took. It was an entire community effort. About seven or eight years ago, w
