Everyone deserves access to addiction services and mental health care

Premier Doug Ford and Health Minister Sylvia Jones

Doug Ford is scapegoating the most vulnerable Ontarians.

Ford must stop cuts to life-saving overdose prevention health services and ensure there are sufficient treatment beds and housing to meet the needs of people struggling to overcome addiction.

Cutting funding to stop overdose deaths means people struggling with addiction across Ontario will die.

Ontarians deserve a real plan to tackle the overdose crisis that includes:

  • Guaranteed 24-hour access to an addiction recovery treatment bed when anyone in Ontario requests it
  • Investing in supportive, transitional, and deeply affordable housing to end the trauma of chronic homelessness
  • Reversing Ford’s decision to cut provincial funding to supervised consumption sites
  • Stable funding for consumption and treatment services that are integrated with housing and health care services where people at risk of dying need it
