Thanks.
First of all, once again, I want to say that we have to have a fact-based debate. I never said, as MP Moore said, that nothing has changed. I said that there were tiny, small changes. Please, let's talk about reality here.
By the way, I said I'm a person with lived experience of drug use, and I'm a normal person. I'm not addicted. I've been using since I was 15 years old. I have to rectify that. Everybody here probably uses alcohol in our normal lives, too. Alcohol is a hard drug.
As for the recovery model, recovery is very important, but addiction or a substance use disease is one of the most difficult human behaviours to change. We used to call that a chronic health disease. Even after three years, the success of recovery is really tiny.
We have to put the burden on the evidence of recovery, too. It's very difficult to help people to stop using. Helping people to live better lives reduces use, but people have relapse episodes, and they go back. Sometimes it's a long life to get better. Sometimes it's easier or faster, but overall, recovery is really important. We need all the tools. It may be effective in some cases, especially when people are ready and have other factors helping that, but having only recovery as a strategy will kill people.
