Bill C-289 — Loi modifiant la Loi réglementant certaines drogues et autres substances et apportant une modification connexe au Code criminel

This proposed law is called the "Stopping Supply to Save Lives Act." It wants to change Canada's drug laws and the criminal code. The main goal is to stop illegal drugs from being made and sold. However, the description of this proposed law does not say exactly how it would do this. It doesn't tell us what new rules or punishments it would add to stop the flow of drugs. If this proposed law became real, it would mostly affect people who make, move, or sell illegal drugs. It could also affect communities struggling with drug problems. The people who support this law believe that stopping the supply of illegal drugs will save lives. They think it will reduce the harm that illegal drugs cause to individuals and families across Canada. The goal is to make it harder for illegal drugs to reach people.
