Mr. Speaker, not surprisingly, the NDP-Liberal so-called safe supply fiasco has torn a hole in yet another Canadian community.
Hydromorphone seized by the Sarnia police has gone up by 170% in the first eight months of this year, and a local addictions doctor has said that diversion is to blame. The government talks about evidence, but when the evidence tells it something it does not want to hear, it just ignores it.
Every city touched by so-called safe supply has suffered. In Vancouver, 50% of all hydromorphone seizures were diverted from so-called safe supply. In London, the street price of hydromorphone dropped by 90%. In Port Coquitlam, children are accessing government-supplied opioids. This is homicidal humanitarianism. The evidence is right there, and the NDP-Liberals do not care.
Common-sense Conservatives want Canadians suffering from addiction to survive and thrive, not suffer and die. We will restore their dignity and bring them home drug-free.
