Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Madam Minister, in another component, you had the opportunity to talk about harm reduction by answering some of the committee members' questions.
The experts who appeared before the committee told us that harm reduction was the first step in treatment. Incidentally, the Maison Benoît Labre is a supportive housing facility with two injection rooms. When we travelled across Canada, people told us their stories. We discovered that supportive housing played a role in helping people successfully get off drugs. It's a harm reduction measure.
Could you talk about harm reduction? Do you agree with the experts who appeared before the committee and who said that harm reduction was the first step in treatment? Do you agree that there aren't just two paths, contrary to what Alberta's Minister of Mental Health and Addiction said? There aren't just two paths, which are misery and harm reduction or mandatory treatment.
What are your thoughts on this?
