I want to thank the member for Hastings–Lennox and Addington for this very important question. Our government, under the leadership of Premier Ford, is working every day to save lives. That’s why we are actively expanding the availability of naloxone kits throughout Ontario. Naloxone is a vital medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. As of last week, employers are now required to have a life-saving naloxone kit on hand and workers trained on how to use these naloxone kits.

Through our Ontario Workplace Naloxone Program, we have now distributed more than 1,000 free naloxone kits to workplaces across the province. This initiative enhances public awareness of opioid addiction, combats the stigma and, ultimately, saves lives.

Speaker, I encourage everyone to visit ontario.ca/workplacenaloxone to learn more.
