Mr. Chair, I would have to disagree with the member opposite. Our government has been very creative in its approach and has moved forward to ensure that we reintroduce harm reduction as a key pillar of our drug strategy. We recognize that “just saying no to drugs” does not work. We have to make sure that we meet clients where they are at. For some of them, it means meeting them at a supervised consumption site; for others, it means meeting them at a treatment facility. We have to make sure that our approach is innovative and that we meet patients where they are at.
Finally, I am proud of our government's position and the steps we have taken so far. We recognize that more needs to be done to deal with this crisis, but we have to recognize that one size fits all will not deal effectively with this crisis on the ground.
