I appreciate that but I'm a little insulted by a point of order, as I am a substitute on the committee.
I am getting up to speed with the discussion. The points that I'm bringing forward may or may not have been addressed already. There are two other areas, very briefly. The access to safer supply has reduced the fentanyl from the street supply as well as the use of other unregulated substances; and the access of safer supply reduced consumption of drugs by injection and increased oral consumption of medications.
The contracts that we're looking for are really a red herring. The actual problem is coming from the street, it's not coming from drugs that are being supported by the Government of Canada and purchased by the local clinics. We're looking for information that really isn't relevant to the problem at hand on our streets and I think we have to watch out for that.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
