Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the ministers for being here today.
Minister Blaney, you threw out this kind of rhetorical question: would we want these in our neighbourhoods; would we want these in our riding? You have sitting at the table today one person who has a safe injection site and two members of Parliament who have applications coming up in our ridings because there is a severe need for harm reduction activities. In greater Victoria in a single year we had 16 deaths from overdose, yet at InSite in a single year they had 273 overdoses and zero deaths. So in my community there's a huge need for the harm reduction. I guess I have to say that, when you look at conditions from a to z, the most charitable comment is that you lack a sense of irony, when you have 26 conditions. It looks more like trying to frustrate the need to meet harm reduction than to facilitate and implement the Supreme Court decision.
