Mr. Speaker, what the Prime Minister is doing is massively increasing the drug overdose crisis in this country. He has been providing taxpayer dollars for high-powered drugs that have flooded our streets and lowered the cost of hydromorphone on the streets by as much as 95% in Vancouver. This has led to the deaths of 30,000 Canadians. Will the Prime Minister back away from his reckless plan to join with the NDP in B.C. and decriminalize crack, heroin and other deadly drugs?

Mr. Speaker, to be blunt, his policies are killing people. The number of overdose deaths that have happened in this country, in British Columbia in particular, where the policies of this government and the NDP are most advanced, are up by 300%. Those deaths were 75% lower before these policies came into place. Worse, beyond just subsidizing deadly drugs, now he wants to decriminalize crack, heroin and cocaine in partnership with the NDP government in B.C. This policy is insane. It is killing people. Will the Prime Minister reverse it before it is too late for more Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, what is truly alarming is a walk through many of our inner-city streets. There he will see tent cities where people are lying face-first on the ground, because he has flooded those streets with taxpayer-funded drugs and has signed a deal with the NDP to decriminalize crack, heroin, cocaine, meth and other drugs. He has imported this ideological and extremist policy from failed big American cities where the result has been exactly the same. Will he finally abandon his reckless and extremist policies in favour of a common-sense plan that gives recovery and brings home our people?
