Applications that have been waiting for years are on hold as the review is underway

The Ford government is planning to develop new safety protocols for drug consumption and treatment sites prompted by a shooting outside of a site in Toronto in July, the associate minister of mental health and addictions said Thursday.

"The protocol has to be put in place because we recognize the problem with what happened at Leslieville, and we don't want to be precipitous and open something that could potentially lead to that issue being repeated elsewhere," he said. When NDP MPP Jamie West asked about the pending closure of Sudbury's site in Question Period, Tibollo cited the Toronto shooting.

"We recognize we've lost hundreds and hundreds of lives here in Sudbury, and this is a crisis," Eisenhauer said. "And again they stand together in a standing ovation to stop an evidence-based solution to this overdose crisis. It's shameful." "And how many deaths are we going to potentially expose people to if we don't go through this carefully? You know, public safety is a priority for us. And we have to make sure that whatever we do is calculated to be done in such a way as to make sure that no one is going to be harmed as a result of the sites being open and being operational."
