I thank the witnesses for coming in. With their indulgence, my first round of questions will be for the IPU and in my second round I will come to the ICGP.

My first question is on international engagement and the discussions with the Portuguese pharmacy union. Did it historically support decriminalisation in its widest context? Does it still have the same position? What has the IPU learned from the Portuguese union's role in provision over the past 20 years, with the huge success in Portugal?
