I participated in the discussion at St. Michael's Hospital from a broader level, more of a 10,000-foot level, talking about the supervised or safe injection experience in Vancouver and speaking to communities from across the city about our concerns from a policing perspective, but right now, at this point, I couldn't say for sure who has been consulted or who hasn't been consulted. I have to share Matt's concerns that it has an impact on everybody in the community.
Working in these communities, where there's high recidivism of drug use and drug abuse—it creates a big problem for the community. Although the doctors' comments are from the health perspective, when they are saying they know that the anecdotal evidence is there to support the health issues, when we are looking at the research documents that indicate 90% of the clients who visit an InSite are also injecting elsewhere, I'm trying to understand the benefit analysis of what we're trying to achieve here.
Not only that, but there was a 2010 detoxification success rate of InSite of around 1.6%, so there has to be a benefit to this overall. I'm just trying to wrap my head around where that is, from what the other witness was referring to.
