Dan Mazier Conservative
“The government allows drug consumption sites near schools and day cares where people use fentanyl. I want the member to tell me if he thinks using fentanyl next to children is really safe.”
“Madam Speaker, I will bring it back to how the topic today actually impacts many Canadians. This is a very special subject, and it impacts so many Canadians. It is about opioids. The member was talking about the safety of children. Right now, we have a government that actually endorses fentanyl use and drug consumption sites next to kids here in Canada. Through an exemption, there are actually federally approved sites right now in Canada operating 50 steps away from schools and day cares. In these drug consumption sites, there is fentanyl used 50% of the time. The member has totally skewed what he means by safety for children. I cannot imagine the member’s children being exposed to these drug sites every day going to school, so my question for him is, does he actually think it is safe to use fentanyl beside children?”
