I can certainly say that we've expressed our significant concerns with decriminalization. There is no question about that.
I think one thing all chiefs across the province agree on is that we do not want to throw people in jail simply by virtue of their personal drug use. Beyond that, as we've learned, the devil is in the details. We have been flagging the issue of public consumption since prior to the submission of the exemption request.
What's happened is exactly what we predicted would happen. We're satisfied that the province has tried to address that through the public consumption act. Unfortunately, it's been unsuccessful to this point.
Going back to the matter of diversion, the reality is that there are seven people per day dying in British Columbia as a result of the toxic drug crisis. They are not dying as a result of prescription-diverted medication; they are dying because of the poisonous drug supply that is on our streets.
