Mr. Speaker, my questions will be for the Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. To address the opioid crisis, the government launched a pilot project a few years ago. Could the minister tell us in which province this pilot project was carried out?

Mr. Speaker, from the outset, a commitment was made for the pilot program in British Columbia to be monitored, assessed and amended as needed. That is why it is a pilot program.

Mr. Speaker, are Canadians right to worry that the government might apply this pilot project, which has cost the lives of more than 2,500 people, outside British Columbia?

Mr. Speaker, I am the member for Louis-Saint-Laurent, and I am very familiar with the province of Quebec. Quebeckers do not want to experience the same tragedy that is occurring in British Columbia right now. Will the minister stand up and say that she will never implement the pilot project in Quebec, yes or no?

Madam Chair, I will be sharing my time with two other colleagues. My questions are for the Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. After the spectacular failure of hard drug legalization in British Columbia, will the minister finally admit that this pilot project was sadly a fatal mistake?
