Do you have any opinion? I'm seeing everybody nod.
Dr. Eyolfson was commenting on the policy foibles of Ontario and Manitoba, saying that these governments are putting their heads in the sand.
So far, our Prime Minister and health minister have both unequivocally ruled out decriminalization and regulation of drugs to ensure safe supply. They've refused to declare this a public health emergency, under the federal Emergencies Act, and the federal Liberals—despite $19 billion in deficit spending and $14 billion just allocated to corporate tax relief in the fiscal update last week—have provided no substantial increase to address the necessary massive increase in treatment funding.
Are there any comments on the federal government approach? Are we on the right track or do we need that fundamental shift?
