Thank you for that question. We’ve actually been having discussions about that. We’ve spoken quite a bit about the importance of building a continuum of care, where treatment and recovery are the focus.

That is what we have been doing everywhere in the province, including in Sudbury. We’ve opened numerous beds to ensure that people who are looking for help and need help get that help. Unfortunately, with the situation that we had at Leslieville—it has forced us to look at the consumption and treatment sites, to determine the impact it is having on public safety, as to where they’re located. A review is taking place, and we are expecting a response that’s going to look at what we can do to ensure the safety of people in the neighbourhoods where these consumption and treatment sites are located. Until then, the process is under review.

We recognize the importance of building that continuum of care. We will continue making investments that are based on building and ensuring that people get the help where and when they need it.
