WHITE LAUDS 'DRUG PLAN'

Former Conservative MP Randy White says Stephen Harper's drug plans  
are "a breath of fresh air."

"A new National Drug Strategy, mandatory minimum prison sentences and  
large fines for marijuana grow operations, a nationwide awareness  
campaign, withdrawal of support for injection sites, a crackdown on  
drug crime and no marijuana decriminalization legislation is a breath  
of fresh air for Canadians as well as a reflection of real leadership  
we have not seen in decades in Canada," said Randy White, current  
president of the Drug Prevention Network of Canada.

"Mr. Harper's leadership will refocus Canada on treatment, prevention  
and enforcement which is where the vast majority of countries in the  
world are today. "

The Drug Prevention Network of Canada is affiliated with Drug  
Prevention Networks in South America, United States, Central America  
the United Kingdom and many organizations in Canada.
