Thank you very much, Dr. Mathew.
Through you, Chair, I do have a motion that I'd like to move, as follows:
That, given
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s dangerous experiment of the decriminalization of drugs, such as cocaine, crack, methamphetamines, fentanyl, and more, in British Columbia has resulted in a significant increase in deadly drug overdoses and compromised the safety of Canadians;
The current drug decriminalization experiment has resulted in carnage and chaos, causing detrimental impacts on public health and community safety;
Last week, British Columbia's Premier David Eby has recognized the failings of this experiment, and called on the federal government to help them backtrack out of this reckless policy decision;
The City of Toronto has made a request to Health Canada asking for drug decriminalization, referring to it as the Toronto Model, drugs would be legal to use everywhere except childcare centers, K-12 schools and airports;
Canadians from coast to coast have been calling for the end of decriminalization, knowing that it is a recovery-oriented system that leads to saving lives, rebuilding families, and eliminating chaos;
The committee report to the House its recommendation that the government immediately dismantle all drug decriminalization programs in Canada.
Thank you.
