Mr. Speaker, I agree very much with my colleague that treatment is the answer for people suffering from substance abuse disorder. I think that, for a long time, the population has realized this is a health issue and not a criminal issue.
If it is a health issue, we need to create the health care architecture so that everybody can get access to just-in-time treatment, because we all know that when someone needs treatment, they need it right now.
Does the hon. member agree with me that we should be making available, through our public health care system, treatment for substance use disorders so that everybody can get access to the treatment they need without having to pay out of pocket, as is now the case?
