Montreal’s public health director backs Toronto health authorities’ call for drug decriminalization
The director of Montreal’s public health department is welcoming a recent report by Toronto’s board of health pushing the federal government to decriminalize all drugs.
A Health Canada report last month found that nearly 4,000 Canadians died from an apparent opioid overdose in 2017, including 303 opioid overdose-related deaths in Toronto. That prompted Toronto’s health board urging a federal task force to explore “options for the legal regulation of all drugs in Canada, based on a public health approach.”
