OTTAWA — Supervised consumption sites are just"drug dens" that a future Conservative government would not fund and seek to close, Pierre Poilievre said Friday.
Health Canada says more than 40,000 people have died from toxic drug deaths since 2016, when the agency began tracking these figures. He said he believes"reasonable restrictions" can be placed on them to prevent them from opening"in locations that endanger the community, or where there is community opposition."
That law was panned by opposition parties and health groups for essentially blocking such sites from opening. They said it bogged down the application process with paperwork and created unnecessary barriers.
