I'm a former city councillor and we had a very severe problem with needles in our children's park. So what could we do as city councillors? We asked the police to move the people on because it was a children's park. The problem then reappeared in another park. If we had had a safe injection site, we would have had an alternative for public safety in our own community. I guess I really wonder whether either of you accepts the scientific evidence that there's a medical benefit from safe injection sites. If you do, why do you require every applicant to prove it again in their applications?
