Poilievre seeks life sentences for traffickers of more than 40 mg of fentanyl
Poilievre is scheduled to hold a news conference in Vancouver later Wednesday. The Conservatives also want traffickers caught with between 20 mg and 40 mg of the drug to be sentenced to 15 years in prison. According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, two milligrams can kill a person. Health Canada says “a few grains” can be deadly.
