Prince George RCMP said officers have seized thousands of prescription drug pills, some diverted from the province’s safe supply program, in the course of two separate local investigations.
The announcement caught the attention of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who raised the issue during a Friday appearance at a Greater Vancouver Board of Trade (GVBOT) event. He told the audience Canadian tax dollars are paying for organized criminals to get their hands on the prescribed drugs and promised to put an end to it.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith also commented on the Prince George seizures, and said drugs diverted from B.C.’s program could cause harm in her province.
