The province of Saskatchewan said Tuesday that it is implementing policies to discourage the manufacture, trafficking, and consumption of methamphetamine and fentanyl. While in Saskatoon, Justice Minister Tim McLeod told reporters, "It's critical that we understand what these substances are: deadly poisons that need to be eradicated from our communities." "No town, family, or person is genuinely safe from the pervasive hold of illegal drug use." According to McLeod, if the medications are not utilized for medicinal purposes, the government will impose sanctions, which may include fines of up to $1 million in certain situations, to prevent their distribution. The Saskatchewan province announced on Tuesday that it is putting rules into place to deter the production, distribution, and use of fentanyl and methamphetamine. Tim McLeod, the minister of justice, told reporters in Saskatoon that "it's critical that we understand what these substances are: deadly poisons that need to be eradicated from our communities." "No town, family, or person is genuinely safe from the pervasive hold of illegal drug use." McLeod said the government will enforce penalties, including fines of up to $1 million in some cases, to stop the distribution of the drugs if they are not used for medical purposes.
"It's not criminalizing that behaviour; it's making sure we have a path to recovery for those who are struggling with addiction." According to McLeod, the measures could be useful in the province's discussions with U.S. officials, but they are not intended to address anticipated U.S. tariffs on Canadian exports. According to U.S. President Donald Trump, he is thinking about enacting more tariffs on other imports and intends to apply 25% tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium next month. Trump has expressed worries about border security between the United States and Canada. The federal government and the provinces have responded by enacting policies to strengthen border patrols and combat drug trafficking.
