Mr. Eddie D'Arcy:

I am delighted by the fact that this committee exists. I was also absolutely delighted that a citizens' assembly was held on drugs and I am delighted with the report. My only concern is that we do not end up tinkering around the edges and making minor changes. We need a completely different approach if we are going to see anything different happen. From my perspective, I see regulation or legalisation as the only real way we are going to see a radical change. I do not want to hear anybody in this House saying that no other country has tried it. Why can we not be the first? That is how I feel about it. Why do we have to wait until somebody else decides to do it? I congratulate the Chairman on the process of this committee and on getting that report out so quickly. I hope there will be time for a final edition as well.
