Ontario has warned Toronto Public Health’s high physician to drop the town’s drug decriminalization utility with Health Canada.
Health Minister Sylvia Jones and Solicitor General Michael Kerzner say in a letter to Dr. Eileen de Villa that the province is 100 per cent against the applying.
Toronto Public Health filed an utility to Health Canada in early 2022 to decriminalize the possession of unlawful medicine for private use.
The ministers say the outcomes of a decriminalization pilot in British Columbia show that strategy doesn’t work.
The B.C. authorities just lately obtained federal approval to recriminalize public drug possession, a serious climb down for the first-of-its-kind pilot in Canada.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has stated Toronto doesn’t have an “active” utility, whereas the town’s well being unit has stated its utility stays with Health Canada amid ongoing discussions.
