As more and more people learn of bill C-2, the law designated to take the popular term “Smoke & Fly” under attack is once again evolving. Last week media outlets have reported, that the Centre of Forensic Services, in charge would not be taking on their testing duties under the new legislation.
The CFS claimed that the labs would be overloaded, much like Ontario’s justice system.
The memo read as follows “As the projected workload will exceed current capabilities, the (CFS) will immediately discontinue acceptance of all submissions related to the Drug Evaluation and Classification program until the necessary capabilities are developed,”
The CFS did a complete turn-around yesterday and issued another statement.
“We have revisited our response to the impact of the Bill C-2 legislation,” director Dr. Ray Prime mentioned yesterday. Noted that the CFS “will accept samples that are taken under the provisions of Bill C-2.”
The first man charged in Ontario with driving drug impaired is a 20-year old from Keswick. He has been apprehended on Sunday by South Simcoe police.
