Mr. Speaker, toxic drugs continue to kill people's loved ones in northern B.C. at an alarming rate and first nations' families are disproportionately affected. In Terrace, the rate of death from toxic drugs is the second highest in our province. The Northern First Nations Alliance has been pushing for years for more detox and treatment capacity so that people do not have to travel to the Lower Mainland for services.
The alliance has urged the Liberal government to help. Why has the government not acted?
