Does the minister continue to claim—

Madam Chair, I have here the resolution adopted by Montreal's city council in which it makes this request. Is the minister aware that, in 2023, the mayor of Montreal personally reiterated her support for the legalization of hard drugs?

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's hesitation is worrisome. He just has to say the word to end this deadly experiment because, essentially, he is the one responsible for criminal law in Canada. That is where it ends. It is as simple as that. It is worrisome to see him insist on keeping this extreme policy in place with the support of the Bloc Québécois. This morning, the Journal de Montréal said, “Crack, heroin, feces: the early childhood centre in Montreal's Chinatown at the centre of escalating violence.” Yesterday, the Bloc Québécois critic for health reiterated his support for decriminalization. Will the Prime Minister say no today to the legalization of hard drugs in Montreal and across the country?

Mr. Speaker, every day that this radical Prime Minister dithers on the deadly experiment of legalizing hard drugs is a day that more people die. Six people a day are dying in British Columbia. After nine years of this Prime Minister, Quebec is not immune to this crisis, which is affecting all regions of Canada. The Journal de Montréal reports that crack consumption is surging in Montreal and will increasingly start happening in public places. Will the Prime Minister put an end to his extremist experiment in legalizing hard drugs today and say no to any possibility of expanding it to Quebec?
