Minister Blaney, I would point you to the minister's own expert advisory committee. I can tell you from my own experience that having a safe injection site has improved the situation. For you to say that's not ever possible is just absolutely rhetoric. It's not based on any evidence.
I wonder if you're aware and have read any of the material from the minister's own expert advisory committee from December 2006, where they looked at a number of factors and they did come to a conclusion that the safe injection sites did increase access to health and addiction care.
There are so many studies backing that up. Has the minister ever read any of those studies or looked at any of the evidence, or is it just really a political conclusion that he's come to?
