Thank you.
Another thing that has been said across this table is that there is an emphasis on safe injection sites, safe use, safe consumption, if you will. There's a focus on substitution treatment. I'm not hearing much with regard to detox or therapy treatments where we would want to see people actually off illicit drugs.
I am of the belief, and I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on it, that every single person on this planet is very valuable and born with incredible potential. I'm also of the belief that this potential can only be fulfilled if that individual is given the opportunity to be healthy. It would seem reasonable for me to then believe that using illicit drugs certainly prevents that individual from being able to realize his or her full potential.
With that belief in mind, I am clearly an advocate for treatment that would help people get off illicit drugs and be able to step into their full capacity as people. So I wonder, why not focus on treatment? Why not focus on helping people overcome these addictions which most of them probably don't want anyway, and help them step into their full capacity as people and reach that potential with which they were born? Why not take that approach and put our energy and money toward that instead of these other things?
I understand that there are intermediate stages. I understand that. I just wonder why that isn't part of the conversation at this table.
Ms. Henry, I'd like to start with you.
