Madam Speaker, as I said, we are committed to addressing substance use and addiction as a public health issue, while protecting public safety. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. We must keep working together to save lives, reduce harms and help people access the health care services they need, when and where they need them.
We will continue working with provinces, territories, municipalities, indigenous communities and experts to determine the best ways to support the health and well-being of people who use drugs. This includes working with partners to divert people from the criminal justice system into the health care system, and making health and social supports more available and accessible.
Our commitment to addressing the crisis is unwavering, and we will continue to consider all options.
