Where I come from in Vancouver, in British Columbia, in Vancouver today—and it's gone on for years—we have had a safe needle exchange program on the streets, as well as a safe injection site. But just in terms of the safe needle exchange, where addicts can go and get a clean needle and they turn in their old one and get a clean one, successive governments of every stripe have continued to support that program. It strikes me that a drug addict on the street has access to better health care outcomes than someone who is under federal care when they come into the corrections system. Would that be an accurate statement?
On April 1st, 2010. See this statement in context.
