The Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesn't stop criminals from going to jail against their wishes. There is obviously a ton of nuance and due process to design here, and I'm sure the UCP will manage to appoint a drug dealer or something to this committee .

Yeah, I think at some point converting the current system of catch and release mixed with punishment that does nothing to solve the underlying cause of the issue needs to get changed.
Mandatory treatment for drug addicts who are committing crimes seems reasonable to me as a sentencing option.
