We are spending billions so when will British Columbia regulate the addictions treatment industry?

With billions of dollars being invested in addictions treatment and recovery, and the BC Liberals proposing the privatization of the industry, it is clear that at the very least the BC NDP should make sure we are collecting data so we understand the scale and scope of the problem and needed response.

In addition, we need to ensure that there are stringent regulations in place to ensure we protect the most vulnerable people in our society from potential predators, especially if public money is being invested in this industry where business interests are potentially profiting on the drug poisoning crisis.
