Mr. Speaker, methamphetamine abuse is impacting communities across Manitoba. Manitoba's chief medical examiner stated that the drug had been involved in 35 overdose deaths in 2017.
In September, the Winnipeg city council adopted a resolution asking for assistance from the federal government.
The issue is not only affecting urban centres like Winnipeg, but rural and indigenous communities across Canada. People are dying and we have a responsibility to act.
Could the Minister of Health please explain what our government is doing to help communities impacted by methamphetamine?
