Poilievre defends safe supply criticisms, says programs ‘perpetuating’ addiction

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is defending his criticism of programs that offer a “safer supply” of drugs to Canadians with addictions as a tool to tackle the opioid crisis, saying he believes these programs are “perpetuating indefinitely” people’s addictions.

In a radio interview with Alex Pierson on 640 Toronto that aired Tuesday, Poilievre says his recent criticism of safe supply programs was “widely misrepresented by the critics.”
