I have a question for Dr. Bennett about the amount of money going for mental health and substance abuse.
I know we make decisions that are evidence-based, so supposedly we're doing the right things. We believe in harm reduction. It should be working. However, having recently gone to Vancouver—where Don Davies and Gord Johns are from—it's hard to see that things have gotten better. Hastings Street is awful. It looks like a slum from a third world country, and I've lived in a lot of third world countries.
Thunder Bay has, apparently, a higher-per-capita overdose rate than Vancouver does.
What can you say in order to encourage us that things are, in fact, getting better, that our money is, in fact, getting well spent?
