Mais il est important que des recommandations lui soient adressées (1640) Mme Libby Davies: J'ai l'impression que certains documents de Santé Canada où il est question des quatre piliers de la stratégie et de l'importance de la réduction des méfaits paraissent très positifs, mais qu'on insiste surtout sur la répression et qu'il y a même une influence qui s'exerce de l'extérieur. Par exemple, la DEA des États-Unis a reproché au Canada d'être trop laxiste à l'égard de la drogue, etc.
