Mr. Speaker, I congratulate our hon. colleague on her maiden speech.
Twenty-five hundred words make up the entirety of the Speech from the Throne, yet it made no mention of the over 50,000 Canadians who have died by overdose since 2016. It made no mention of the fact that our country is gripped by an overdose and opioid crisis. It made no mention that in my province of British Columbia, the leading cause of death for youth aged 10 to 18 is overdose.
There was not one mention of the opioid crisis. I would ask our hon. colleague to comment on that.
