Madam Speaker, the member for Vancouver East and I sat on opposite sides in the B.C. legislature, so it is good to see her here.
I concur with her about the crisis being faced in British Columbia, in her riding of Vancouver East and my riding of Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge, of drug addiction and the opioid crisis. Five times more people have died this year from opioids as from COVID-19, so it is very serious and we should not undermine the numbers with COVID-19.
How do the member and New Democrats feel about the Liberal government placing more emphasis on recovery and treatment than primarily on safe injection sites?
