Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to ask my colleague a question. He did not go into much detail about his personal opinion on this bill during his speech.
I would like to know whether he thinks that injection sites like the one in Vancouver promote public health and safety.
If Vancouver did not have the site—I am talking about Vancouver because it is the only site we have in Canada—where would the people who, unfortunately, use illegal drugs go?
How can having safer places improve public health and safety even if the ultimate goal is to help all Canadians be healthy and not use drugs that are bad for them?
How can these sites ensure public health and safety in communities that can be dangerous because of drug use and used needles found in public places?
Why is this a good thing for public health and safety?
