Mr. Speaker, that was the essence of the question I was going to ask, and I appreciate the boldness of the answer.
I am a little surprised, given the many stakeholders who have a caring, compassionate attitude and want to deal with the social issues surrounding substance abuse, which destroys lives and families. It is a cancer within the community. A fairly significant group of people believe that safe injection sites will not resolve all the issues but that they are a step in the right direction. Some communities want to see this happen.
I now know what the member's position is. Can he indicate whether his position is the same as the government's position?
