Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate both the ministers being here today.
Minister Ambrose, I certainly appreciated in your opening remarks that you referred to our government's investments in the national anti-drug strategy. It was something that I was very pleased to see. I know many of my constituents were very pleased to see our government's investments in the expansion of that strategy when we introduced the economic action plan 2014.
I was hoping you might be able to provide the committee with some more detail on the activities that are included in our national anti-drug strategy, including how they are designed to work to reduce or eliminate the adverse social and health consequences of illicit drug use.
Of course, we recognize the importance of every health-related application that comes across your desk as health minister, but I do believe that supports for drug treatment need to remain priority investments, no question, especially with reports that we've heard recently of 16 people overdosing in a single day at Vancouver's injection site.
I'm wondering if you'd be able to provide the committee with a bit more detail on our government's current support for drug treatment.
