Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my information tells me that indeed the Member is correct. In the early '90s, it was the policy of the department that drug and alcohol workers not drink or consume drugs. I do not know if that was called zero tolerance or it was some kind of a sobriety clause that was attached to their employment. In the mid-90s, responsibility for alcohol and drug workers was transferred to non-government agencies and so with that transfer did not come such a policy. So if we were to suggest such a thing, it would be up to the agencies who actually employ the drug and alcohol workers to implement it. Thank you.
