There was some reaction to a point I made earlier. To clarify, I did not refer to policing at all. I referred to the protection of the integrity of the centres, which is a totally different issue. Some people seem to have taken it as a reference to policing. Despite that some of us have hair that is reverting to blond, we have direct experience in these matters. Over many years, we lifted people off the streets and brought them to addiction treatment centres. We, too, know a little about the subject.
