Canada's health minister launches national call for proposals in the Substance Use and Addictions Program


 
WINNIPEG
The federal government launched a national call on Thursday for proposals for Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program.
Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu made the announcement on Thursday in Winnipeg.
“It isn’t stigmatization and criminalization that helps people who use substances, but rather the opposite,” Hajdu said. “It’s compassionate, evidence-informed care that happens in communities.”
Hajdu said recent data has shown opioid deaths continue to rise and the pandemic has exacerbated the crisis.
