A conservative government would prohibit the opening of new supervised consumer sites, making the operation for existing sites even more difficult, such as the leader Pierre Poerievre provided its approach in more detailedly on Sunday, if elected, to a form of damage reduction it has repeatedly condemned.

Postilvre also said to suspend the approval of new consumer sites supervised until “clear evidence show that they support recovery”, according to a declaration of the party. It is not clear on what evidence on which the party would rely, however, since then it does not agree with the supporters of the reduction of the damage that affirm that there is evidence The structures saved their lives.
The conservatives would also end the temporary exemption from the controlled law of drugs and substances that authorized the consumer sites supervised to open without requesting the approval by the provincial government.
Some structures will remain open
However, then he stopped saying that all the structures would have been closed. Last summer, Poilievre promised Remove all federal funding For prescribed alternative drug programs and deviate that money in pharmacological treatment.
On Sunday, he said that existing sites that are not close to schools, parks and other places for the community collection can continue to work, provided they follow the new supervision rules.
They would be required to check the health cards of all users and always have the authorized medical staff on site. The structures must focus on the connection of users with the treatment and support of close companies and the first rescuers. They should also adhere to cleaning standards and guarantee the removal of needles in the surrounding areas.
Each structure would be subject to an annual revision. Any center that does not satisfy these standards would have 30 days to conform or be closed.
In the meantime, the leader of the ENP Jagmeet Singh was in Halifax to announce a government under his leadership, he would have provided only federal money for the construction of houses in the city and cities that have severe renting checks, the leader Jagmeet Singh promised Sunday.
He said he has no scruples that they have rents control, a question of provincial jurisdiction, because housing deficiency is a “national crisis”.
“I could look for apologies all day,” Singh said from a city where The median rental of the oldest apartments increased by over 40 % in the last four years.
“I think a leader is not one who is looking for apologies, he is someone who is looking for solutions. … We can absolutely find a way to protect people at the federal level.”
According to the NDP plan for national rent control, he said that access to federal funding for homes would be linked to the controls of rents and the ban on some practices that people in grass of their homes, such as fixed -term lease contracts, renovations and demovers.
These new conditions would be an extension of the limits already underway with the Fund for the housing accelerator of the Liberal Government, which provides money to local governments that simplify the planning and development of the use of soil in order to build multiple houses.
The leader of the ENP Jagmeet Singh, speaking in Halifax Sunday, announced that he would have linked the federal funding for the construction of houses in provincial regulations that would protect the tenants.
The NDP plans to maintain that fund, while the conservatives Promised to cut it Partially finance his promise to eliminate the GST from the sales of new houses that cost less than $ 1.3 million.
Singh said that rent controls will guarantee that Ottawa is not helping to build houses that only face the lack of options at affordable short -term prices.
“Because we should invest in the construction of houses that are convenient if then, in a couple of years, those houses are not cheaper? It would be a bad investment,” he said.
Some examples of rent control by the provinces may include new rules on rents increases, prohibiting the increases in driving rentals above the guide and changes to the new unitary exemptions, the party said in a press release.
Singh has also committed himself to bringing checks for rent to the federal regulated housing, such as military accommodation and houses on federal ownership and for renting the rent.
The candidate of his party in the guide of Halifax is Lisa Roberts, an ex Mla of New Scotland who was provincial housing critic of the ENP.
After becoming an MLA in 2016, Roberts recalls for the first time he saw a person sleeping in a tent in the electoral college. Rental controls will help prevent those results, he said.
“It has been really dramatic enough in the past eight years how prevalent the visible and persistent homeless has become prevalent,” he said.
The liberals have no political ads scheduled for Sunday.
