Mr. Speaker, the ideological fearmongering from the Conservatives is alarming. It is the kind of rhetoric that we have seen all too often from the American far right and now here in Canada. We need to stay grounded in what the frontline responders are telling us, in what the frontline doctors and health experts have been doing to save lives across the country. We will continue to work on a harm reduction approach. We will continue to work with frontline partners. We will not be swayed by the ideological approach of the Conservatives on supporting people as we fight this epidemic.
