Good morning, everybody. I want to start off with one of the central themes of this particular issue for the past 50 years, which has been political will to really address issues around drug dependency and so forth. The citizens' assembly and the special committee on drug use issued recommendations and they were largely progressive in terms of looking at different policies and approaches to drug use.

How confident are the witnesses regarding the implementation of those recommendations, specifically the drug task force and the wider recommendations of the two bodies that made them?
