There is no such thing as “safe drugs.” Government-funded supply keeps people trapped in addiction. My private member’s bill, C-240, pushes for recovery. Conservatives choose treatment, recovery, and hope. Canadians deserve a path to healing, not prolonged pain.

les, complete training, and properly register their firearms - is not the solution to rising gun crime. These individuals are not the source of the gun crime in our communities in the first place - so gun crime won't go down. If we are serious about public safety, our focus must be on criminals and illegal firearms coming in accross the U.S. border, not responsible citizens. With the vast majority of crime guns traced back to the United States, resources should be directed toward securing our borders and addressing the root causes of gun violence.
