Madam Speaker, of course, we can do like the Conservatives and tell all kinds of stories about people who unfortunately died as a result of drugs. However, we can also tell the success stories of people who overcame their addictions with the help of the public policies that were put in place and the health and social services that are available for people with addictions.
We must not confuse the issue. What the Conservatives seem to be doing here, with this motion in particular, is blaming Bill C‑5 for the fact that thousands of people are dying from opioid overdoses. That is not exactly true. In fact, I would say that it is false. All of the things that my colleague from Rivière-du-Nord mentioned earlier are meaningful, worthwhile measures that could be implemented to fight crime. We need to separate these subjects and not put all of our eggs in one basket.
