Thank you.
Mr. Bursey, perhaps you can answer this from the pharmacy's point of view. We were talking about the availability of opioids. Manitoba had one of the problems, which was noticed by the pharmacy community and the medical community. It had to do with Tylenol 1s. For background, Tylenol 3s and Tylenol 2s are of course available by prescription only. Tylenol 3s have 30 milligrams of codeine each. Tylenol 1s with eight milligrams of codeine apiece are non-prescription. In Manitoba they were noticing a lot of addicts, because they could get them over the counter, were taking a lot of them. Due to the amount of Tylenol it took to get high off Tylenol 1s, people were presenting at the hospital with liver damage, sometimes needing liver transplants.
As well, it turns out that there's a four-minute YouTube video that shows you how to extract pure codeine from Tylenol 1s.
In response to that, Manitoba has made Tylenol 1s prescription only. Would that be a strategy that would be at least somewhat helpful in removing one more source of narcotics from the street?
