Minister, you've repeatedly claimed that your government is doing everything possible. You just said again that you're using every lever to deal with the opioid crisis. Of course, that's not true. Besides ruling out decriminalization, which is one lever that obviously would result in a much safer supply of drugs being accessible to Canadians, you've refused to declare this a public health emergency under the Emergencies Act. We just heard this Tuesday from Sarah Blyth, who operates an overdose prevention site on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, the epicentre of the opioid crisis, that they receive no federal money or federal exemption to operate legally, and your government has failed to join B.C.'s civil lawsuit against opioid manufacturers, just to name some.
We know that the U.S. federal government has secured criminal convictions and civil damages from opioid manufacturers for violating U.S. federal law. My question is simple: Has your ministry investigated criminal and civil violations of Canadian federal law, and if not, why not?
