Poilievre Announces 'Safe Hospitals Act' (Bill C-321) to Combat Drugs and Weapons in B.C. Hospitals
May 14, 2024, 06:36 PM
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has announced the 'Safe Hospitals Act' (Bill C-321) aimed at preventing hard drugs and weapons from entering health-care settings in British Columbia. This legislation comes in response to reports from nurses in B.C. who have been exposed to meth and fentanyl and instructed not to remove weapons from patients. Premier David Eby and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have been criticized for their handling of these issues. The act seeks to protect doctors, nurses, and patients by ensuring that individuals bringing weapons into hospitals face appropriate punishments.
