On the recordFebruary 6, 2025
We know that if this emergency declaration expires, that illicit fentanyl will no longer be scheduled and individuals will no longer be subject to arrest and prosecution. I don't believe we need to study this. That is why we have the emergency in place because of the problem. Putting this off until a study comes back, people are going to die. I don't think we need to certify that people are going to die. I think that is self-evident. Mr. Speaker, I urge opposition to this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
