Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the term "near epidemic" has been used a number of times. I have seen it in the press, as well. The suggestion is that our response is going to be to just try to fix people once they are addicted. I would suggest that that is an incomplete response, that, very clearly, with the influx of drugs, there has to be a comprehensive response, trying to limit access, trying to convince people not to use it, trying to crack down on the people who are selling it as opposed to just focusing the attention on accepting the reality and let's just try to fix people once they are addicted. I don't think that is the intent of anybody in this House. I think we need that kind of broad discussion to look at that kind of comprehensive response. Thank you.
