Fry says government is out of touch with whats going on elsewhere in the country.
Liberal MP, Hedy Fry, is speaking out about what she considers a frustratingly slow response by her own federal government to the Fentanyl crisis.The longtime Liberal MP for Vancouver Centre, says "I feel it's something we need to be doing something about faster than we are doing it." Fry says the government is out of touch with what's going on elsewhere in the country, but this is the first time the criticism comes from inside the federal Liberal caucus.Terry Lake, the B.C. health minister, made a similar point at an opioid summit in Ottawa last November. Ontario, which has a population about three times the size of either of BC or Alberta, reported 166 deaths linked to Fentanyl in 2015, as opposed to 374 in BC and 193 in Alberta.
