Mr. Chair, I would like to thank the members for appealing to some real change in terms of dealing with the crisis itself, but also dealing with grieving parents and family members.
It was just brought up that in Portugal there was a move toward decriminalization. This is not actually true. Portugal created a sort of third tier called administrative offences. However, at the same time, Portugal put beds everywhere.
We heard the geographical difference between Portugal and Canada, and to say that we cannot compared the two is, I think, actually inaccurate. We need to compare ourselves with those who are doing better than we are and strive for some similar results.
To the member, do you believe that the government should be investing as much money in rehabilitation and recovery as it is investing in injection sites? In other words, do you believe that the government should be providing more than one recovery bed's worth of funding for every injection site opened by the government?
