Government of Canada actions on opioids : 2016 and 2017.: H14-236/2017E-PDF
"Canada is in the midst of a crisis. In 2016, there were more than 2,800 suspected opioid-related deaths in Canada and preliminary data for 2017 suggest that we will almost certainly surpass 3,000 Canadian lives lost. Governments, non-government organizations, health and public safety professionals, and individual Canadians across the country have been responding to this crisis in an effort to save lives. The Government of Canada is coordinating a whole-of-government approach that is grounded in compassion and evidence. This report provides an overview of the actions taken by the Government of Canada since early 2016 to address the opioid crisis"--P. [iv].
