OTTAWA — Cries of “shame” echoed around Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on the floor of the House of Commons on Tuesday as an intense and emotional debate erupted about Canada’s toxic drug crisis.
Rounds of fiery back and forth during question period saw Poilievre and Conservative MPs accuse the Liberals of killing people with their policy of allowing prescribed “safe supplies” of opioids, which they allege are being diverted to the black market, and demand that the money be spent on addictions treatment instead.
