Madam Speaker, I have another petition to present, which is signed by, again, a number of Canadians calling for an end to the prison needle exchange program. Prison guards will be affected by the fact that inmates who request a needle kit will be able to take a needle kit back to their cell, and these will be potentially used as currency and to further exacerbate the addiction problem of inmates in prison, presenting a public safety risk to correctional officers in the form of a physical weapon and potentially even a biological weapon.
