House Chair, hon Minister it is very evident that the competence with regards to the usage of alcohol, is the competence of provincial and your municipal bylaws, however it is clear over the festive season that when it comes to use and the imbibing of alcohol particularly in public spaces there is an abuse of alcohol even though it may be prohibited by law, but there is an abuse, not just of alcohol but there is also marijuana and other prohibited substances that are openly been used publicly particularly over the festive season.
Then you have people have been stabbed, bottles being broken and the public at large becomes threaten. Can you take the public into confidence that over the festive season not just with alcohol but every other burn substance that the police will act hard and swiftly on those who compromised the law in this regard? Thank you.
