Mr. Speaker, let us look at drug related problems. We cannot stick our heads in the sand and pretend they do not exist. British Columbia has clinics where people can go to get their drugs.
It seems as though it is a crime to do that. At least, that is what the Conservative government seems to think.
Does my colleague agree that if we acknowledge the problem, two things could happen? First, we would stop the spread of disease. Second, we could work with these people to help them deal with their problems. That is a possibility.
If we stick our heads in the sand in order to avoid the problem, it will persist. Instead, we must help these people.
