Mr. Speaker, the Liberals teamed up with the B.C. NDP on drug decriminalization policies. Now parents are more afraid than ever to take their kids to playgrounds and parks due to open drug use. Law enforcement are now handcuffed and can only stand by and watch. Because of these new drug policies, the Kelowna mayor says that police cannot stop drug users from getting high and leaving syringes in children's playgrounds. Our Prime Minister is out of touch and our streets are out of control. When are the Liberals going to take public safety seriously?

Mr. Speaker, it is unbelievable that the Liberals think it is acceptable for open drug use where children play. The answer from the minister is completely out of touch with reality, and the reality is that the drug policies of the Liberal-NDP coalition are making our streets and parks less safe for families. Now municipalities across British Columbia, from Kelowna to Campbell River, are having to take action through bylaws and provincial advocacy, just to keep their communities safe. Again I will ask, when will the Liberals take public safety seriously?
