Speaking on CBC Radio in Vancouver, the Prime Minister says his government is basing its approach on science and evidence, looking at the overdose crisis through the lens of health rather than justice

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks to reporters after visiting the National Research Council of Canada, in Montreal, on Aug. 31, 2020.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Ottawa is moving forward “aggressively” on ensuring a safe drug supply amid an ongoing overdose crisis that’s claimed more than 900 lives in B.C. alone this year.

Henry continues to call for the decriminalization of small amounts of drugs for personal use and last month Tam made the same suggestion. “We know there’s more to do, but we are going to do it responsibly and make sure that we are prioritizing the things that are going to make the biggest difference immediately,” he says.

Among other things, Trudeau usually convenes a cabinet retreat and attends a Liberal caucus retreat outside the nation’s capital each year before Parliament resumes in the fall. He, his ministers and Liberal MPs use those events to fan out into the host communities, listening to local concerns, making some announcements and generally promoting the government’s message.

What political leaders have learned about pandemic-era campaigning and outreach could be useful should Trudeau’s minority government be defeated on the throne speech he intends to unveil on Sept. 23, detailing what he has promised will be a bold plan for economic recovery.
