Yesterday I met with many families adversely affected by addiction to hear their heart-wrenching stories and views. 2/5 #ableg
Some families expressed concern that the presence of naloxone was encouraging their loved ones to take greater risks, knowing that the life-saving drug was nearby. 3/5 #ableg
I was asked by media what I heard from families, and recited many examples, including this one. This concern was expressed by families and are their words and experience. This is not my opinion or the position of the government of Alberta. 4/5 #ableg
Again, I'll be perfectly clear: we fully support the distribution of naloxone kits. In the opioid crisis, countless lives have been saved. We will continue supporting naloxone availability. 5/5 #ableg
