Thank you.
Mr. Chair, if we're going to ban McKinsey for their role in the toxic drug crisis, which might be a good recommendation for the report at this committee, then we should also, when we're doing the bigger report, look at some of those other highly paid consulting firms and look at their roles in some of the scandals that have happened in this country.
We have to make sure that we have some standards that are legitimate and that are across the whole spectrum, and that we have credibility. I'm not afraid of that, but to try to insinuate, first, that McKinsey is responsible for all of the toxic drug crisis is completely ludicrous. Bad drug policy is responsible for the toxic drug crisis that's killing people. Fentanyl entering the drugs that are on the street, the toxic drug crisis that's killing people, is clearly a result of failed drug policy.
What we've tried to do is bring forward policies that are recommended by experts, including the police chiefs' association, chief medical health officers across the country, the expert task force on substance use and experts across the country, but the Conservatives don't want to listen to them. They just want to say, “Let's put it all on McKinsey.” They don't want to come back with a robust, comprehensive response to a complex issue.
It's not so simplistic. These issues are not simplistic.
