What Does the INSITE Decision Mean? Monique Pongracic-Speier
On September 29, 2011, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled unanimously to uphold Insite's exemption from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, allowing the facility to stay open indefinitely. What does this decision mean for drug policy not only for BC, but also across Canada? Lawyer Monique Pongracic-Speier spoke about the implications of the decision. Presented by the SFU's Vancity Office of Community Engagement, SFU Woodward's Cultural Unit, PHS Community Services Society and Pivot Legal Society, with Monique Pongracic-Speier. Moderated by Vancouver Sun columnist Peter McKnight.
