If I understand this correctly, we think there are already around 50—we will not quibble about whether it is greater or fewer—locations that are in prescribed communities that are already receiving R18+ programs. The argument is that this extends this material into communities, when the fact is that it is already there. What this amending legislation does is enable a community to say, ‘Uh-uh, we don’t want it.’
