Earlier today, I spoke at an event hosted by MP @GordJohns reiterating my support for #BillC216 to address the opioid crisis. I was disappointed to see the bill not pass into committee, but proud to be one of the 71 MPs supporting it. I will continue to advocate for this issue.

Hats off to the person who called out those who voted no against the Heath-Based Approach to the Substance Use Act in the @HoCChamber today

We can save lives with Bill C-216 by making sure those who need help, receive it.
The vote is today.
Stand with us and demand change 👇🏽

This small step comes nowhere close to what our country needs, which is country wide comprehensive health-based approach to address this public health emergency. @JustinTrudeau you owe it to Canadians to support #BillC216 and send it to committee.

The overdose crisis is getting worse everyday. Today staff at the Moss Park Injection Site reversed 14 overdoses. We are seriously concerned with the increase in overdoses and deaths. Government inaction at all levels are to blame.

🇨🇦 is spiralling into an even greater crisis: "Ontario data suggests a 40% ⬆️ in opioid-related deaths in 2020. By late Oct in BC 1202 people had died vs. 983 in 2019." (Maclean's) Behind every # is a human being & grieving community 🔗 gettingtotomorrow.ca/multime… #GettingToTomorrow

New Canadian numbers on overdose deaths released today & it's devastating. There have been 1,628 opioid overdose deaths in JUST 3 MONTHS (April-June 2020). This is the highest quarterly count since national surveillance started in 2016. health-infobase.canada.ca/su…

Canada is dealing with unprecedented numbers of people dying of opioid overdoses. While the numbers are new - the problem is not. @garthmullins has spent his entire adult life taking opioids, and has seen first hand how Canada's drug problem has evolved. bit.ly/2GXxwqb
