Mr. Chair, I feel that there has been an unwillingness to listen to what the government is doing and what actions have been taken. There is a multi-pillar approach going forward. The member is raising the continued question about treatment and treatment beds. I need to remind him that the opening of treatment beds is a provincial-territorial responsibility. We have a $150-million fund created. We cannot create nurses and infrastructure and places for treatment. That is a provincial-territorial responsibility. The biggest problem we have is that we are playing catch-up after nine years of the Harper government's failing to making any investment in treatment and prevention. That is the biggest problem we are facing tonight.
