Canada’s new fentanyl czar Kevin Brosseau said he intends to bring “an intensity” to his role in fighting against fentanyl, with the ultimate goal of completely eliminating the drug from Canada and the United States.

“I’m hoping to be able to give an intensity to the work being carried out by thousands of men and women in this country and the United States trying to deal with the real public safety and national security crisis that is fentanyl,” he told reporters on Feb. 12 at the Lansdowne port of entry between Canada and the United States.
