Mr. Speaker, I have answered this question many times by saying that the only way we move forward on any proposals across this country, around decriminalization or other methods to fight toxic drug overdoses, is when provinces step up and actually ask for them. Failing that, we will not be moving forward on any modifications. However, there are provinces that are choosing to reduce their harm reduction measures. We will continue to increase harm reduction and public health responses to overdoses and to safe supply issues right across the country.

Mr. Speaker, the toxic drug and overdose crisis continues to take a tragic toll on families, loved ones and communities. We are using every tool at our disposal to work with our partners to end this national public health crisis. Since 2017, we have committed more than $1 billion to address the overdose crisis, and we are taking concrete steps to divert people who use drugs away from the criminal justice system. The evidence is clear that harm reduction measures save lives. Some 46,000 overdoses have been reversed since 2017. We will continue to trust the science.

Mr. Speaker, the opioid crisis has severely affected the families and communities of those we have lost to overdoses. Our approach follows other steps we have taken previously to address the opioid crisis, including investments of more than $800 million in community-led harm reduction, treatment and prevention initiatives. We also just approved British Columbia's request to decriminalize the personal possession of small amounts of certain illicit drugs in the province. We will continue to work with all provinces and jurisdictions to save lives and end this crisis.
