Mr. Chair, I share the member's deep sadness about the number of lives we've lost to opioid overdose.
Our government has been steadily making it easier for people who live with substance use to access medications to treat substance use, such as prescription Suboxone and methadone. We have made it easier to rapidly establish safe injection sites in communities and have supported community-based projects that work with people who are using substances.
We need to understand that this is a complex issue, and we need to support people to get the help they need.
