Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I understand the sentiment behind this amendment, but I think, in practice, we have long waiting lists for referrals of people who actually do want to get into treatment. It doesn't make much sense to hold up one of those spaces on the waiting lists, which exist almost everywhere, for someone who most surely will refuse if they weren't going to give consent. I think in the real world, this actually just pushes people back from treatment who are ready and willing and able to get it. We should in fact just recognize that people who won't consent to this will not consent to the treatment as well.
I think it's an impractical amendment in the real world of shortages of treatment spaces for those with addiction problems.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
