Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I truly want to thank the witnesses here today, because one of the things I think we've been lacking in this study is, really, the front line.
I want to start off with you, Dr. Ujjainwalla. I think you're actually the first medical professional we've had in front of the committee here who actually works every day with opioid-dependent individuals. I think you're the first one to appear at our committee, so thank you for your insight. I want to thank you as well for your passion. I think everybody around the table sees how committed you are and how discouraged you are that all levels of government are not really taking the bull by the horns to deal with this. I do want to thank you for your work, and I have a few questions for you.
I see you as actually doing it. Nobody else who has come here is on the ground actually treating people. I wonder if you could elaborate on the kind of appropriate care that you would provide an opioid-dependent individual in contrast to what has been brought up a lot here, these supervised or safe injection sites. You made a comment just now about dumping them back on the street, so they're in and are just dumped back, dumped back, and dumped back. Could you give us some advice on appropriate care? You're giving them care today. You're helping people today. Could you elaborate on that?
