The Conservatives have introduced a non-binding motion in the House of Commons calling on the Liberal government to “immediately reverse” a number of its hard-drug policies outlined in the Canadian Drugs and Substances Strategy (CDSS), which the Tories say has contributed heavily to Canada’s ongoing opioid crisis.
Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre introduced the motion on May 18, while criticizing in particular Ottawa granting the B.C. government authorization in January to temporarily decriminalize possession of small amounts of hard drugs.
