You mentioned agreement. I think it's important that we rapidly and emergently scale up the scope of the spectrum of all interventions that people need to survive this crisis. I've been asked a lot of questions about safe supply today. Obviously, I think many Canadians could be kept alive with that approach, but we also need to rapidly scale up access to conventional addiction medications like methadone and buprenorphine. We need to scale up access to treatment on demand through bed-based treatment, if that is what people desire.
As a country, what do we need to do now? We need to stop blaming the people who are dying for the fact that they are dying. We need to stop stigmatizing people who use drugs, because that is directly impairing any kind of response we can have on any kind of emergency timeline. We need to lay all that stigma and marginalization behind us and really focus on saving lives.
