Mr. Chair, this is a crisis that affects every community. Waterloo, the riding I represent, is a small town turned city. It is amazing the number of people who come to visit the riding of Waterloo who are surprised to see horses and buggies.
Every community across the country has been impacted by this crisis. It is serious. It is impacting lives. I agree with the member that the federal government has a role to play. We need to work with the provinces and territories. We need to work with municipalities. I can assure her that the Minister of Health, the Minister of Public Safety, and all members of cabinet, under the leadership of the Prime Minister, take this very seriously.
We are pleased to see that so many members are here tonight to be part of this debate, because it is really about saving lives and how we move forward. It is really about innovative solutions. This is an issue that has been growing over time. This did not start when we took office, but it is definitely something this government is addressing. We know that we need to work with members from all sides of the House to ensure that we are able to deliver results.
