Mr. Speaker, nine months ago, Belleville, Ontario, was rocked by an opioid crisis, with 36 overdoses in only 48 hours. The Prime Minister said he would be there for Belleville, Ontario, but after nine months, there has not one more dollar for infrastructure. There are no more treatment beds, and just last week in Belleville, there were 11 overdoses in only two hours. How many more months does Belleville, Ontario, have to wait for any support for mental health from the Prime Minister?
