Mr. Speaker, we understand and recognize this is a major challenge facing Canada, which is why we are using every option at our disposal to deal with this issue. It requires a multitude of solutions and measures, including law enforcement, prevention, as my colleague has mentioned, treatment and community supports that could support folks in recovery as well.
We are already seeing that drug-related deaths and hospitalizations are decreasing nationally, which shows that our approach is working. We also see the toll this crisis has taken on individuals, families and communities across the country. We will continue to tackle this crisis and work across party lines to make sure that we can balance public health and public safety.
