On Tuesday, the federal government granted B.C. a three-year exemption under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to allow adults to possess up to 2.5 grams of opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine or MDMA without facing arrest, charges or seizure.
“Manitoba is not considering that at this point. Obviously, we recognize that there are serious issues when it comes to drugs in Manitoba,” Goertzen said Tuesday.
“We’re focused on ensuring that we’re stopping the flow of those illegal drugs across borders, whether that’s across the international border or the inter-provincial borders, but then also ensuring there’s assistance and support for those who are addicted to drugs.”

3 minute read Preview Friday, May. 27, 2022Revenue from liquor sales could be drained from government coffers if legislation to expand private retail sales becomes law, the union representing Liquor Mart workers warns.
Manitoba Government and General Employees’ Union president Kyle Ross said the province needs to back up its claims Bill 42 would not substantially impact Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries Corp. revenue or lead to job losses at Liquor Marts.
“The figures from yesterday’s announcement just don’t add up. It stretches believability to suggest that if you add 130 additional locations in Winnipeg to purchase alcohol that it won’t affect the bottom line of the 36 Liquor Marts that are already in existence,” Ross said Friday.
“Those profits go somewhere, and the best place for that profit is invested in schools and hospitals.”
