Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his government will fund recovery treatment for 50,000 Canadians affected by drug addiction, while NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh vows to implement national rent control if he is elected prime minister in the upcoming April 28 federal election. Liberal Leader Mark Carney has no public events scheduled on Sunday.

In his latest electoral promise on April 6, Poilievre pledged he would expand drug recovery programs by funding “lifesaving treatment for 50,000 of our loved ones trapped in the scourge of addiction.”
