The FSIN says First Nations people are disproportionately affected by this issue and calls the new policy unacceptable and needing to change. It told the minister in charge, “You are responsible for listening to and respecting First Nations' voices and working with us to find culturally appropriate and effective solutions."

Addictions Minister Tim McLeod said sending pipes and instructions on how to use illicit drugs sends the wrong message.

“Instead, the message coming from the health care system should be that there is hope for recovery, and help is available through treatment,” he said.
