Mr. Speaker, I have listened intently here and in the lobby to my colleague's speech.
Something that is missed is that supervised injection sites do not provide drugs to the folks who go there. Addicts buy these drugs on the street from dealers and that money goes directly to organized crime, which I do not think anybody supports.
Through the bill, we are simply trying to provide the Minister of Health with some documentation from the local community and the local police force that says they support that.
Since the New Democrats will obviously oppose that community involvement with this project, is it their position that these sites should not only be approved without such consultations, but that they should also provide dangerous and addictive drugs like heroin to these people?
