Mr. Speaker, I totally agree that the government needs to revamp how it looks at supporting people and supporting small and rural communities that need just as much help as the major urban centres with the addiction crisis.
I will bring up the situation in British Columbia, where there is a pilot project going on concerning the decriminalization of drugs. No other province in this country is stepping forward to say it wants to do that too, because we know it is a failure. The longer it lasts, the more people will die. There is no need for that. People need resources and help. Drugs should not be distributed in our communities, but if they are, we need to have resources and detox beds to help these people.
