HARDLY IN A POSITION TO LECTURE
As a physician listening to Mr. Clement speak about safe injection
sites at the meeting of the Canadian Medical Association, I was
embarrassed. It was clear to me that rather than looking at the
results of these safe injection sites and determining in an objective,
evidence-based fashion whether or not these programs actually achieved
the desired results of harm reduction and improved health outcomes,
Mr. Clement used this as a platform to launch his party's agenda in
case of a fall election. I hope the Conservatives have more to offer
in any campaign than this fear-mongering dribble.
