Thank you.
I think that is the important thing. We have seen increased visible homelessness. We know that. We know from data that, across this country, as we've come out of the pandemic, we've had increases in people living in poverty and with food insecurity, and that has led to more visible homelessness. Some of those people are people who use drugs.
Yes, I think it's very real and very concerning that we've had increases in people recognizing and seeing people on the streets. That is hard for all of us, and that is something that underlies some of the challenges we're facing with increased challenges with drug use as well. We do need to address that.
To link it to one small policy change that is around removing criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of drugs is wrong, because we know that this was a problem prior to that coming into play. It is still an issue that we all need to deal with. We need to deal with the societal issues that underlie that, which are challenges with income insecurity and challenges with home insecurity and homelessness. Those are underlying issues that we need to work together on.
