Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Wright, let's talk about the diversion of safe supply. After the drug bust in Prince George, British Columbia, RCMP Assistant Commissioner John Brewer said that there was no evidence of widespread diversion of safe supply drugs in British Columbia. The Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General of British Columbia claimed the same thing.
However, Fiona Wilson said the following before the committee on April 15, 2024:
My biggest concern when it comes to pills is the number of organized crime groups that are producing counterfeit pills. I saw a photo of this just last week, and you could not distinguish the counterfeit pill from the real prescription pill. The problem is that we have no idea what's in the counterfeit pill, and it could absolutely be deadly.
If the pills aren't in their original dispensing bottles, we can't determine where they come from.
Do you agree with those officials, such as the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General of British Columbia, who say that there is no evidence of widespread diversion of drugs in the province?
Or do you object to those statements?
