Maybe the minister didn’t hear my colleague. Two people died just last week, three blocks from this building. Whatever you are doing is not enough. It’s not enough.

Speaker, back to the Premier: People wait months for detox beds, wait again for withdrawal management, and then again for rehab—unless, of course, they can pay tens of thousands of dollars to get into a private clinic. In that time, many relapse or die.

The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit has shown that Windsor’s SafePoint CTS is safe and effective: Hundreds of visits from people in need of care and referrals to addiction treatment, mental health supports and social services have occurred, in addition to primary care, wound care and foot care on-site. It will close at the end of this year due to the lack of government funding.

The Conservatives haven’t provided a timeline of when the provincial review that was declared in August will be completed, and the longer it takes, the more people will die. Speaker, when will this government finally treat mental health and addictions as a public health crisis and properly fund wraparound supports that will actually save lives?

It’s my pleasure to ask a question of my colleagues who just did a comprehensive hour lead on this bill. I just want to point out to the member from Simcoe–Grey: It’s not about just us getting what we want in the bill. We bring the voice of our constituents and people across the province. My colleague referenced several advocates and experts who asked for amendments that this government voted down. They weren’t our amendments. They came from the public.

It’s interesting. My colleague had talked about the cost of new home purchases and how there are protections for condo buyers for new builds, but there aren’t for single-family homes. I know in my riding, I have a realtor who actually sells new builds who purchased one himself, only to have the builder tell him that in order for him to finish building that house and take possession, the real estate agent, who’s an expert in the field, would have to cough up another $150,000 above what he had agreed to. I know it’s happening all over the GTA and other parts of the province as well.

So I’m wondering if my colleague could talk a little bit more about the amendment that we had tabled, being the voice of people like the one that I just mentioned, and talk about what kind of protection that would have brought in for people who are purchasing new home builds and why he thinks maybe the government decided to vote against that amendment.
