Minister, one thing that someone who testified in our committee said was that language matters when we talk about this. Some of the words I have heard throughout this study are things like “drug lord”, “terrorists” and “gangs”. What do you think is the impact on people who are watching this who may want support, may want to get better, or on the families who may want to seek support for their loved one who is experiencing this disease?
