Just to follow Deputy Stanton's question on how it was decided what drugs would be decriminalised for personal use. Deputy Chief Constable Wilson's opening statement mentioned opiates, cocaine, MDMA and methamphetamines but she just mentioned fentanyl there. Given what Mr. Russoniello said about fentanyl being a driver for overdose and I know that in Oregon as well, fentanyl was included for decriminalisation. Is that something Deputy Chief Constable Wilson would change now? Would she include fentanyl given its toxic nature and how lethal it is? That question is for both witnesses.
