Mr. Speaker, we recognize that far too many Canadians have been impacted by the opioid epidemic and the toxic drug crisis. That is why we are doubling down on science and supports on the street. We are here to look at ways to help families through this, to deal with addictions, to lift people out of poverty. We will partner with people right across the country to do that on things that make sense in their jurisdictions. We are going to stay grounded in science while the leaders opposite choose their ideology as guiding paths.
