Mr. Speaker, I want to share with the minister an email I got from a member of Moms Stop the Harm. It is too long to read in its entirety, but I wanted to give a couple of elements of the letter, and I am sure the minister has heard these stories before.
This mother said that after her son died, it was a very difficult time, and that she watched me give a response to the Conservatives, who were using, as the minister said, very hurtful language. Her son was 24 years old when he died, and she said, “How dare politicians and so-called experts tell us that our children are only worth something if they say no and go to treatment?”
I would like to ask minister this: Does she see harm reduction as part of that treatment continuum?
