“Furthermore, we will also provide $2.3 million to support the RCMP crime reduction unit with the goal of reducing the illegal drug supply in the province. These efforts will also support the objectives outlined in the Inter-Departmental Addiction and Mental Health Action Plan: Priority Areas for 2021-2025. To complement the efforts of the RCMP crime reduction unit, our government will provide $2.0 million to create a safer communities program. This program will be dedicated to disrupting activities and dismantling organizations engaged in the manufacture, sale, and distribution of illegal commodities. The unit will be mandated to work with law enforcement here and in other jurisdictions to disrupt and dismantle the underground market, impact organized crime, and protect provincial revenues. This includes cannabis, alcohol, illegal substance investigations, and contraband tobacco enforcement.”
