Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, has released the following statement after six members of the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team (GVERT) were wounded responding to an incident in Saanich:

Opioid manufacturer Purdue Pharma (Canada) (Purdue Canada) has agreed to a first of its kind settlement in Canada resulting from B.C.-led efforts to recover health-care costs related to the sale and marketing of opioid-based pain medicines.

More tree-fruit growers and their orchards will benefit from time-sensitive advice about pest management as B.C.-adapted software becomes available in the Kootenays, which will help stabilize the sector and strengthen B.C.’s food security.
