“Mr. Speaker, since 2016, over 57,000 Canadians have died from a toxic drug supply. In response, the Liberals committed $1.3 billion to border security and appointed a fentanyl czar.

We need a compassionate, coordinated response where help is ready when people are ready. Will the Liberal government finally show federal leadership and fund treatment on demand in this budget?”
