Today, the Honourable Marjorie Michel, Minister of Health, was at East Hastings in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, an area at the centre of many of these challenges. The Minister was joined by Kevin Brosseau, Canada’s Fentanyl Czar and Ginette Lavack, Member of Parliament for St. Boniface—St. Vital and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indigenous Service. The Minister was also joined by the Vancouver Police Department as the Government of Canada is committed on advancing the country’s fight against fentanyl by working with law enforcement, and security agencies on concrete action to protect the safety and health of our communities.
