Mr. Chair, one of the really important things is to make sure there is public education about the harms from these drugs and the fact that one can take them once and die. It is the government's duty to inform. There has been no education about the harms of the opioid crisis that I have seen. In the case of marijuana, the government sent a card to everyone's house telling young people to go to the government web page. That was totally inadequate. What is the government going to do to inform Canadians about the absolute deathly harm of trying these even once?
