I believe it is. At first we were hearing of it in pockets. We were hearing that it was a problem in Vancouver, and maybe in the Prairies as well, but every community has been affected by this. Working in a pharmacy, we see it.
I see in the west end of Ottawa, where I work, that there's a certain population that has been profoundly affected by this. We see people getting into trouble with medication. We see people coming in early for their opioid prescriptions, and there's a sense that they're getting out of control with their own personal use of these medications. It is definitely a national problem; no community is unaffected. For that reason, I believe we have to treat it as a national crisis.
