PENNY SIMMONDS (National—Invercargill): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise to speak in opposition of the Drug and Substance Checking Legislation Bill (No 2). I was a member of the Health Committee that heard the submissions that my colleague Dr Craig spoke of then. The recommendations from the Health Committee were obviously not unanimous. The bill that was introduced was introduced as an omnibus bill that aims to minimise harm from controlled drugs and psychoactive substances. The thought was that it would do this by allowing services to check the composition of those drugs and substances. But, as we have said numerous times on this side of the House, we are yet to see the evidence that that actually contributes to harm reduction.
