Should welfare recipients be tested for drugs?

The test should be ultimately up to the person, but it should not affect welfare as it is basic and inhumane to revoke such rights especially if a person is abusing harmful substances. A test should be recommended and the government could lower taxing on homeopathic medicine if they should need to reduce welfare funding due to it costing excessive amounts.

Absolutely not. Irrevalent in any circumstances. Welfare IS ALREADY a prison sentence almost impossible to get out of.
All rents are more than what welfare gives in a month.
And stop criminalizing prostitution and low income drug dealers while we're at it as well.
This is what "This is a free country" means.
And our water is gold to other countries by the way. Need I have to remind you of what life in canada after ww3 will look like?

Those on welfare should be tested for the use of illegal drugs and terminate benefits when tested positive for illegal drugs in their system. I work as a security officer and have witnessed this benefit system abused time and time again by active drug users. They get their welfare checks and it goes straight to drugs. In a sense, it is enabling them to continue their habits if left unregulated.

Test everyone who receives money from the government, except EI and pension recipients. Also welfare should have a limit of 2-3 years.

Yes but provide treatment if tested positive and tests government employees and politicians for illegal drugs

No because that seems tyrannical, however the program should have a lower acceptance rate and eventually be abolished only for very limited cases.

everyone should be tested. those who test positive should be transitioned to a medical assistance program for inpatient rehab or support systems (sober living, transitional housing etc.) which would be managed by a social worker within the home.
