We need supervised injection sites. We need to reduce the risks and the complications that arise from poor practices such as the use of dirty needles. That is one way to reduce risks. If we do not have sites of that kind, we are making a mistake. It is a way of helping people with their addiction problems. Sites like that can be a way into the ability to develop a relationship with them, to guide them as they search for rehabilitation services, and so on. For us, they are part of the solution. They must not be looked on negatively, but proactively.
