Mr. Speaker, if the member would like, I could read the question:
... yesterday Health Canada officials revealed at committee that there are no age requirements at federally approved drug injection sites. In fact, Health Canada revealed that there is not even a requirement for ID. That means minors can legally use drugs in these consumption sites under Liberal law. The health minister approves supervised drug injection sites through the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
Why are the Liberals allowing minors to inject hard drugs under their watch?
This is the actual question the member put forward, so that is what I am responding to. I am trying to be as courteous as I can in trying to indicate to the member opposite that with respect to drug injection sites, there is a process that needs to be followed, and it involves a considerable amount of consultation by the different levels of government and the different stakeholders, which is what we have seen.
I would really encourage the member, if he wants to pursue the issue of crack pipes, to bring it up directly with the ministry and possibly the minister. I was not prepared for that specific question, and that is the reason I am taking more of a general approach.
