The only confusion we heard yesterday was the confusion about Health Canada saying you can use AstraZeneca for those over age 65 while NACI says you can't. I mean, there's a lot of confusion.
I just want to turn quickly to the opioid crisis.
In 2020 in B.C., 1,716 people died of overdoses. It was the deadliest year on record. Opioid deaths have risen every single year the Liberals have been in power since 2015. B.C.'s provincial health officer has repeatedly called for the decriminalization of substance use and for the provision of a safe supply. In February, B.C.'s Minister of Health and Addictions wrote you a letter requesting a province-wide exemption under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to save lives.
Will your government finally listen to public health experts and science and grant this exemption without delay to save lives?
