*Seizure data for the 2009 report
Seizure data provided in this report is based on information collected from a variety of sources, including
RCMP databases, Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) information, and Health Canada’s Controlled Drugs
and Substances Database (CDSD). In 2008 and 2009, the RCMP worked closely with Health Canada to reach
a consensus and determine the most accurate seizure statistics possible based on the information contained
in their respective databases. The seizure statistics reported in this document are the same as those provided
to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime for 2009. Any significant increases or decreases in quantities
seized in the above table do not necessarily reflect changes in either production or law enforcement efforts.
