Public Safety Minister David McGuinty says the new “fentanyl czar” position Canada is creating after a deal with U.S. President Donald Trump will be a commanding role to coordinate a national campaign against illegal production and distribution of the deadly opioid.
“This new fentanyl czar position is one that will transcend any one part of the government will pull together a full Canadian national response between our provinces, our police of local jurisdiction, and work with our American authorities,” Mr. McGuinty told CNN in an interview Tuesday.
