Thank you very much.
Deputy Chief Wilson, thanks for emphasizing that last point.
I continue to be puzzled by the emphasis from my colleagues on diversion, which, as you and others have stated, is a problem that needs to be addressed but that is not killing Canadians. It's our illicit toxic drug supply that is killing Canadians.
I do have a couple of short questions for you.
My colleague, Dr. Powlowski, described what it's like to take a walk around downtown Ottawa here. Certainly when I walk home every day, I encounter similar circumstances. However, this is not an area where we have a decriminalized approach.
Can you just talk about the correlation? I know there is a correlation with public acceptance and that this is a serious issue to be addressed, but can you talk about the correlation between decriminalization and public safety and public consumption?
