Thank you.
I really want to thank you, as well as Minister Duclos and Minister Ien, for the leadership you're providing to get this plan, because, as you indicated, we have to do things differently. This is not working. We've heard from the opposition about things not working, and we really have to look at things like integrated youth services from ages 12 to 25. That's so important. We hear about eating disorders at 18 and the valley of death afterwards...it's just awful.
I want to thank you for listening to the organizations, because they want to have integrated services. We hear it clearly today. This is a good example: In just this one hour, three opposition parties are talking about provinces. We have B.C.'s safe consumption sites. I hope other provinces will follow the lead of B.C. and then work with us. We've heard other opposition parties here saying that we want to have safe consumption sites, but we have the Province of Ontario, which would not even fund that. As an example, in Sudbury the municipality and the federal government supported the safe consumption site that you visited with me just a while back. We really need to ensure that we have those standards.
Thank you for working with the provinces and the community organizations to ensure we have a sustainable plan moving forward into integrated services for mental health and substance abuse.
