I thank the witnesses for their presentations today. Someone made the point earlier that sometimes Oregon is used as an example of what went wrong. From the information the witnesses have provided today about British Columbia, it is to be hoped we can learn from these experiences. It is a pity that, due to Covid and the arrival of fentanyl, the region faced the perfect storm in drug terms. I wish everyone the best of luck. It is a tragedy that so many lives are being lost. It is frightening and it must be really hard to be on the front line there. I really enjoyed the contributions and I think I have learned a lot.
