Mr. Speaker, I agree with the member opposite that people need hope and connection. The way they get that quite often is at a safe consumption site or with a safe supply prescriber. That is where they get the connection to get the hope and to get on a path to a better life. Does the member remember when people objected to methadone, suboxone and sublocade? It is about people who have a dependance and who are not able to tolerate being dope-sick. I want to know why the member rejects these opportunities for people to finally have someone they trust and help them on a path to recovery.
