Opioid crisis: Fiery debate erupts in House of Commons over Liberals’ safe supply policy
Description
May 16, 2023
During Tuesday's question period, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre sharply criticized the Liberal's safe supply policy intended to address the opioid crisis, saying his political opponents have "no common sense." In a passionate retort, Canada's Mental Health and Addictions Minister Carolyn Bennett told Poilievre her party's safe supply technique is backed by science and saves lives, so people could be alive long enough to seek help for their addiction.
