Comments: On behalf of those who suffer due to various addictions, I encourage you to work together with Canadian departments and agencies and with your peers from other countries so that, thanks to a symbiosis of information, you can develop approved and efficient approaches to address these issues (alcohol, drugs, (inappropriate) psychoactive medications) that destroy lives and are extremely expensive for society.
