Aislinn Clancy, Deputy Leader of the Ontario Greens, has condemned the Ford government’s proposed legislation to ban supervised consumption and treatment sites (SCTS) in Ontario, asserting that it will lead to increased drug-related deaths and public health crises. Clancy argues that removing harm reduction services will not stop drug use but will instead exacerbate issues like drug poisoning and infectious disease spread. She calls for a comprehensive approach to addiction treatment that includes harm reduction, supportive housing, and accessible mental health services, urging the Premier to reconsider the harmful implications of the proposed ban.
