Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here.
Jason, thank you for sharing your story and for being so vulnerable here in our committee. It's incredibly important to hear the perspective of people with lived experience.
Earl, thank you so much. You're not here in the room, but I want to share with you that there were very few dry eyes in this room. A lot of kleenexes were passed out. Thank you for always being willing to share some of the hardest parts of your life to demonstrate that recovery is in fact possible.
Both of you men help make our society a better place by showing that recovery from addiction is not just something that could exist but something that does exist, and it lives every single day. I want to sincerely thank both of you for that.
Dr. Bardeesy, in hearing about what Oxford House does and their pre-treatment model, do you think that model or a model similar to it would help the people you support in Toronto?
