Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to make a few amendments.
Amendment number one is to add “(b), share the documents referred in (a) with HESA in the event that HESA finds these documents useful”, if that is possible.
If not, one other amendment I would like to have is where we've amended it to say “safer supply”. My recommendation would be to have “safe supply, safer supply, prescribed alternatives,” because those are the three terms that are used, depending on the province, to refer to these programs. It's “safe supply, safer supply, prescribed alternatives programs”.
It's just more encompassing, and it's just to really clarify it. For instance, in London, Ontario, the London InterCommunity Health Centre, which has Canada's first safe supply program, calls it “safe supply”. I know that in British Columbia, many of them call it “safer supply”, due to moves made by the British Columbia NDP government to change it and not adopt effectively a marketing term that makes children think that they are safe.
I do think that's a piece and I do know that some of the newest conversation is that some governments are calling it “prescribed alternatives”, so that is my rationale in that amendment.
Mr. Chair, I hope that adding (b) to allow us to share the contracts with HESA is in order. I appreciate that you might have to discuss this with the clerk. Perhaps we could suspend for a couple minutes so you could figure out if that is, in fact, in order or not.
