Madam Speaker, I think the hon. member raises an interesting point, and I do not know whether we are agreeing or disagreeing, frankly. I just do not have the faith that a year from now things will change greatly. Where are we? We are still under-resourcing the system, and we are still not providing the care that these folks need. Members can walk down Bank Street on their way home tonight, and there are a lot of people there who are pretty far gone. I just do not think we have the will, as a nation, to do much beyond providing legislation, and we think this is somehow a way out. Maybe it is. I do not know whether I agree or disagree, but I do not have that faith.
In the House of Commons on February 15th, 2023. See this statement in context.
