Ministry of Health Presentation Confirms Eby’s Taxpayer-Funded Safe Supply is Trafficked Provincially, Nationally, and Internationally


A leaked presentation obtained by the Conservative Caucus of British Columbia (BC) confirms a worst-case scenario in David Eby’s dangerous “safe supply” experiment: Taxpayer-funded "safe supply" drugs are flooding the streets, enriching organized crime,  in some cases with diversion fraudulently facilitated by pharmacies and medical professionals.

The presentation, reported to have been delivered to law enforcement in British Columbia by the provincial Ministry of Health, states that "a significant portion of the opioids being freely prescribed by doctors & pharmacists in BC are not being consumed by their intended recipients" and that "prescribed alternatives are trafficked provincially, nationally and internationally."

"British Columbia was singled out as a source of illegal opioid trafficking by the American President,” said Elenore Sturko, Critic for Solicitor General and Public Safety. “Canada now has a 30-day reprieve from US tariffs to address border security and drug trafficking. David Eby must immediately stop his taxpayer-funded drug trafficking that is fueling fentanyl use, killing people, and enriching organized crime.”

For years, David Eby, his Ministers, and provincial health officials have consistently downplayed the quantity of “safe supply” prescribed in BC. However, the presentation attached reveals the number of opioids prescribed for “safe supply” has exponentially increased from just over half a million pills in the first 6 months of the program in 2020, to more than 20,000,000 opioid pills and Fentanyl patches between 2022 and 2024.

The Ministry of Health presentation also highlights the NDP Government’s awareness that pharmacy incentives are being offered to doctors, housing, and medical professionals. This has led to the diversion of “safe supply” and police investigations with 60-plus pharmacies alleged to be of concern.

“Since I raised this issue in early 2023, David Eby, his ministers, and the Public Health Officer have denied and downplayed the extent of “safe supply” diversion,” Sturko said. “There is now no doubt that the NDP Government is responsible for fueling addiction, deaths, enriching organized crime, and facilitating international drug trafficking.”

While opposition members were raising concerns about diverted “safe supply”, Bonnie Henry was calling for its expansion, and for drugs like fentanyl, crack cocaine, and meth to be legalized and sold in retail stores,” BC Conservative Leader, John Rustad said.

MLA Sturko adds, “this is a betrayal of public trust: David Eby must fire Bonnie Henry immediately, and launch a full public inquiry to investigate this dereliction of duty.

NDP Sits on $61 Million With No Start Date for Burnaby Hospital

Phase 2 of Burnaby Hospital redevelopment  was green lit to go ahead in September 2023 The NDP spent $45 million on the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, cancelled the second phase, and now has another $61 million listed for the project in the province’s Public Accounts, with no start date for construction. If the NDP cancelled the project, what is happening to the $61 million set aside for it? The Phase 2 project was expected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion and was intended to expand the hospital’s capacity. With Burnaby’s population growing and residents struggling to access healthcare, the government should be investing in healthcare capacity, not leaving millions of dollars tied up in limbo. “The NDP spent $45 million on this project before cancelling it, and now $61 million remains listed for it in the Public Accounts,” said MLA Misty Van Popta, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure. “If the government isn’t going to build the hospital expansion, it should explain whe...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...
