Thank you to the witnesses.
Mr. Letellier de St‑Just, thank you for taking part in the committee's study today.
We have something in common. You teach at Université de Sherbrooke, and I represent the riding of Sherbrooke. You said in your opening remarks that, when the previous government was in power, from 2005 to 2015, it opted to crack down on drug use and criminalize it. You said that, thanks to the measures taken by the government since 2015 and its recognition of evidenced-based decision-making, a modern approach—to use your words—was now in place.
I want to give you an opportunity to elaborate on that. Are we on the right track? What all of us here today want is to save lives and to ease, if not stop, this crisis.
