“Madam Speaker, the hon. member has done a tremendous service to our country today. Not only has she helped those who struggle with addiction, trauma and insecure housing to see themselves here in this place, she has also blazed a path for some of them to get here with her bill, which I will be proud to stand up and second in a moment. She inspires me and I just want to provide her with another opportunity to provide any additional advice that she has to share with the people watching at home who might need some of that inspiration as we continue to grapple with our ongoing addictions crisis.”

Madam Speaker, Thanks · 22 wordsI want to thank the hon. member for the opportunity to speak a little further on focusing on taking that first step.ThanksClaims · 116 wordsOne thing that addiction does is it breaks one’s relationships.The continued cycle of bad decisions that someone makes is carried with them and it actually stops them from wanting to heal.It is not only that they have their own personal trauma but they have the guilt and they have everything else surrounded in the choices they made while they were in active addiction.I want people to know that they are loved.Everyone still cares about the person.Everyone still loves the person.All they want the person to do is to get well.All the person has to do is get well.All the person has to do is take that first step.
