Episode Length: 7 min

Ottawa Mayor Larry O'Brien joined CFRA's Steve Madely this morning to discuss the McGuinty government's decision to fund the free crack pipe and needle program here in Ottawa. As you recall last summer, council overwhelmingly voted in favour of terminating this program at the end of the 2006 calender year. The provincial Liberals have now thwarted this decision by city council and will thus take over funding of the program.

Make sure especially to read the comments section of that second link, it contains a good discussion between supporters and opponents of the program.

"I will take every step that's legal and justifiable to end this program"
