What is the funding model? What are the facilities? If it's mandatory, is there any recourse or defense? Or are we just foregoing a pillar of our justice system? You can't, I'm assuming, give a police officer the authority to send people to mandatory rehab prisons. That can't be the idea, can it?

Ya it's not even a remotely relevant consideration until the capacity to treat people actually exists. If five people willingly seek addiction treatment today in Calgary, maybe one of them will actually get some help.
