Manitoba government to introduce new licensing system for safe drug consumption sites
The Manitoba government has decided to stop fighting the idea of supervised drug consumption sites and instead set up a new licensing system that would require the sites and other treatment centres to follow guidelines or face fines.
Last fall, Sunshine House received a federal exemption under drug laws to operate a mobile overdose prevention van in central Winnipeg with harm-reduction supplies on board. Morley-Lecomte, who said she continues to have “significant concerns” with supervised consumption sites, said the licensing system will protect people and guide them to recovery
“This government can actually open a safe consumption site [on its own],” said Bernadette Smith, the NDP mental health and addictions critic.
