Mr. Chair, the Minister of Health mentioned that the opioid crisis is her number one priority. When I look at the spending of the government, I see that the Liberals can find money for a $4.5 billion pipeline, $800 million to legalize marijuana, $1.1 billion for illegal asylum seekers, and most recently, $600 million to try to buy the media in an election year, but $250 million is the amount that has been pledged for the opioid crisis, and only a fraction of that has actually been spent.
How can it be such a big priority when there has been a lack of resourcing for prevention and recovery?
