Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, at the start of the year, a new face joined the opioid epidemic in Quebec: that of Mathis Boivin, who was 15 years old.
I want to pay my full respects to Christian Boivin, who decided to use this tragedy to launch a message in the media. He called for a dialogue and advocated for destigmatizing drug use, as well as eliminating the prejudices and taboos surrounding it. He hopes this will open a dialogue between parents and children, and that they will be able to talk about it calmly.
I offer my thoughts and condolences to Mathis Boivin's family.
You talked about Minister Carmant and his program in Quebec. In fact, one of the last times you talked with my colleague, Luc Thériault, you said Quebec had an excellent mental health program. Therefore, since mental health is part of the issue of drug addiction, what are you waiting for to transfer the money Quebec is seeking in order to deploy it on the front lines?
