Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said on March 14 that if elected, his government would launch a “massive” series of lawsuits amounting to $44 billion against large pharmaceutical multinationals for their role in Canada’s opioid and addiction crisis.
“The people who profited from this misery should be the ones to pay the bill. It’s about bringing home accountability and bringing home hope,” Poilievre announced in New Westminster, British Columbia.
