I can begin.
To start, I would say that we are aware of the report the member has referenced. I would say generally that the challenges and recommendations that were made at that time continue to be the case today.
When the national anti-drug strategy was introduced in 2007, replacing Canada's drug strategy, it was refocused, given reports from law enforcement that indicated at that time there were significant issues with illegal production of synthetic drugs, such as ecstasy, and even some concerns around marijuana grow operations. There were also concerns at that time that youth and vulnerable populations were seen to be at risk from illicit drug use, and the government then focused its activities and investments on dealing with this critical public health and safety challenge.
As I indicated and the member indicated, the government has announced in the Speech from the Throne that it is committed to expanding the national anti-drug strategy to address the growing problem of prescription drug abuse.
A clear commitment has been made to address the issue. I think we'll be able to leverage the experience and the knowledge and the best practices from the national anti-drug strategy in our efforts.
