Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will be supporting the second reading of this SCAN legislation. I came back from my home community prior to session and there have been a lot of concern around the community and the residents of even having their children play outside during broad daylight because there's activities going on within public housing units. The tenants are hiding behind these doors. Everybody in the community know where these drug dealers that come from out of the community into our community and pose threat on our residents, especially the children when they can't even play outside in broad daylight. There's people walking around but police are not doing anything about it. I think this will be a good tool to give the authorities to try and stop the illegal trade of alcohol or drugs.

It's more evident in these smaller communities where I come from. Even sitting here in Yellowknife, I get calls saying they're at this place, and I know where they're at. So we have to give the authorities more tools to deal with that, especially the drug situation. I haven't seen it this bad before, and it's the younger generation that's being plagued with this crisis. So I will be supporting the second reading of this bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
