Fentanyl czar says government’s border bill will help in fight against lethal drug
- On June 13, 2025, in Ottawa, Kevin Brosseau, Canada's fentanyl commissioner, stated that new legislation introduced by the Liberal government aimed at strengthening border measures will enhance efforts to combat fentanyl.
- Brosseau was named fentanyl commissioner in February partly in response to U.S. objections regarding the flow of fentanyl into America, which were cited as grounds for imposing tariffs on Canada.
- The Strong Borders Act seeks to enhance inspection authority, facilitate law enforcement’s ability to obtain necessary data, strengthen efforts against money laundering, and accelerate regulation of chemicals involved in drug manufacturing.
- Brosseau noted about 21 Canadians die daily from fentanyl, called for an all-of-society approach, and said "there are no free rides in this," stressing collaboration with U.S. counterparts.
- He said the proposed legislation and cross-border collaboration will help close exploited weak points, improve accountability, and provide support for recovery, signaling coordinated action ahead.
