Lawyers for the province say Ontario's supervised consumption site law does not ban them entirely and those deemed too close to schools and daycares can relocate farther away.
Ontario government lawyers argued in court that the new law on supervised consumption sites doesn't ban them, and those near schools/daycares can relocate, despite past statements from the health minister indicating no new sites would open. This argument is part of a Charter challenge against the law, which argues it violates rights. The court is considering an injunction to postpone the closure of ten sites scheduled for April 1st. The province defends the law, citing public safety concerns and evidence of issues near existing sites.
