Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech on this matter.
I would like to address clause 5 of this bill and review the six criteria that the government wants to impose for new or existing sites such as InSite.
Paragraph c) states:
The risks of overdose are inherent to the use of certain illicit substances
It is very clear. However, studies by InSite show that overdoses have decreased by 30% in the Vancouver neighbourhood where InSite is located.
Does my colleague have anything to say about that and about the important contribution that new sites could make to a community's safety?
