I am talking about people with addictions as well. The people we're losing are unemployed people who are disproportionately living rough and are socially isolated.
As I said earlier, more than half of the young people dying in B.C. were children in care. There is a profound link to social isolation and meaning in life, so there are voluntary interventions such as recovery-oriented housing. I'm not defining it.
For people who are encountering the criminal justice system, drug treatment courts and other specialized courts, when properly resourced, are extremely effective.
The third point I'll mention is prevention. We must do a far more effective job of preventing risk associated with substance use in the first place.
Those would be my top three priorities.
