The Saskatchewan government has introduced legislation that would categorize some drugs, like fentanyl and methamphetamine, as “street weapons.”

The bill, introduced on April 14, will amend The Safe Public Spaces (Street Weapons) Act, according to an April 15 news release. The legislation is expected to be passed in the spring session and be put in place by summer, the government said.
