British Columbia: B.C. Premier David Eby’s plan to introduce involuntary treatment for substance use disorders is facing criticism from health experts like Dr. Julian Somers. Somers argues that the government should focus on improving voluntary treatment before mandating involuntary intervention. He also questions the practicality, sincerity, and legality of the policy, suggesting that adequate housing and employment support for individuals with addiction would be more effective. The provincial government has yet to provide details on how individuals will be selected for involuntary treatment.
