Canada needs more airline competition, oversight to avoid travel ‘catastrophe’: Poilievre
He also wants money from what the government calls an “assault-style” weapons ban — which includes language that Conservatives, First Nations and sporting groups say unfairly targets some common hunting rifle models — should be sent instead toward “reinforcing our borders” against drug trafficking, gun smuggling and other gang activity, as well as addiction treatment.
He said a “very clear recovery and treatment proposal” was coming from his party that would deliver federal funding for provinces to pursue addiction treatment programs.“We’re not just going to throw money around. I want beds, I want counsellors, detox, medication that will help with withdrawal and overdoses — they’re all going to be part of my plan. We will rescue the lives of our friends, our neighbours, our brothers and sisters that have fallen victim to this horrific addiction crisis.
The announcement is the latest in a series of discoveries at residential school sites across the country that have reignited conversations around reconciliation and Canada’s colonial past. The federal government has provided millions of dollars in financial support to communities undertaking those searches, which Poilievre said he would continue if he becomes prime minister in the next election.
“We would fully fund all the inquiries into the human remains at or near the sites of residential schools,” he said.
