We're hoping that you're going to increase it, Minister.
The Tseshaht First Nation in my riding hosted the Alberni Valley toxic poison drug strategy yesterday. Calling for a whole-of-government approach is what you talked about. They need you at the table for resources and they need your government to do that in an urgent way. We talked about Portugal scaling up on safer supply from 250 people to 35,000 in two years. They engaged the military, but you still have not delivered a plan with a timeline to show that you're demonstrating a response to an emergency.
Minister, I want to introduce you to Theresa. Theresa is a 32-year old indigenous woman who has stabilized her substance use on safe supply. If SUAP funding for safe supply ends in two months, she doesn't know if the new life she has built will be ripped apart.
Minister, could you look Theresa in the eye and tell her that funding is ending and she will have to go back to sex work, unregulated street fentanyl, chaos, violence and criminality? Minister, might Theresa be one of the three out of 10 safe supply clients who will be dead in six months? Are you going to commit to extending that funding?
