Despite calling for more help, the task force conducting the report on meth in Manitoba isn’t recommending safe consumption sites.

The group, which was set up by the federal and provincial governments, as well as the City of Winnipeg, is recommending an increase in detox and treatment programs along with 24-hour safe spaces to get people off the streets.

Manitoba’s Opposition is calling for safe consumption sites, but Health Minister Cameron Friesen disagrees, saying they don’t work for meth users.
