C-272, An Act to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (supervised drug consumption sites) moved for leave to introduce. Minister of Health He said: Mr. Speaker, today, I am introducing legislation to ban supervised drug consumption sites next to children. Fentanyl, meth, crack cocaine and heroin are the drugs being smoked, injected and snorted both inside and outside of supervised [more]

Madam Speaker, the member is talking about a different country altogether, versus the actual—

Mr. Speaker, I rise for the ninth time on behalf of the people of Dauphin, Manitoba, to present a petition on the rising rate of crime. Residents of Dauphin and the Parkland region are demanding the Liberal government repeal its soft-on-crime policies, which have fuelled a surge in crime throughout their communities. Since 2015, there has been a 54% increase in violent crime and a 75% increase [more]

Mr. Speaker, one thing I can never get over is that the Liberals, in the last two questions, took an opportunity, instead of talking about what Canada is going to offer and do for Canadians, attempted a gotcha moment and heckled us. Unfortunately, we are talking about a trade agreement that is going to enhance Canadians. Winnipeg North I asked the member forthis morning if there is anything in [more]

I do not know what the [more]

In fact, after the drug site closed, users were more likely to access life-saving addiction treatment. Every single drug consumption site in Canada exists only because the health [more]

Mr. Speaker, this is the first study in Canada to use individual-level, linkable health data. That means, for the first time, we can see exactly what happened to the people who have used these sites. Every drug consumption site in Canada operates under an exemption granted by the federal health minister. If the research now says that closing a drug consumption site leads to more people getting [more]
