Agree

Yes, but provide treatment for those testing positive

While the NDP would likely disagree with mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients, they may be more open to the idea if it includes providing treatment for those who test positive. This aligns with their focus on social justice and support for individuals in need. However, they would still likely prefer to allocate resources to other social programs and support systems.

Disagree

Yes, test anyone receiving money from the government including employees and politicians
