"The emergence of fentanyl and its analogues, an opioid at least 100 times more potent than morphine, has given rise to a public health crisis in Canada requiring urgent action. British Columbia alone is expected to experience 800 illicit drug overdose deaths by the end of 2016, half of which are expected to involve fentanyl. According to the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA), there were at least 655 fentanylimplicated deaths in Canada between 2009 and 2014, representing an average of one fentanyl-implicated death every three days. The unknown potency of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids means that all individuals that engage in illicit drug use are at risk of experiencing overdose and death, from recreational users to habitual users to those trying these drugs for the first time. As these trends show no sign of abating, this crisis will continue to affect individuals and families in communities all across the country"--Introduction. gccst Health hazards gccst Narcotics gccst Drug use Casey, Bill Rapport provisoire et recommandations sur la crise des opioïdes au Canada (CaOODSP)9.827831 Report of the Standing Committee on Health ; 4th report, 1st session, 42nd Parliament (CaOODSP)9.507061 PDF 905 KB https://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2016/parl/xc62-1/XC62-1-1-421-4-eng.pdf
