Medical experts urge Canada to declare public emergency over opioid crisis

[Canada-Man]

OTTAWA -- Members of the medical community and front-line soldiers in Canada's opioid crisis are pressing the federal government to declare a national public health emergency.
Dr. David Juurlink, head of pharmacology and toxicology at Toronto's Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, says the opioid problem is so dire it demands an urgent response at the highest levels of government.
Politicians are meeting with public health experts, doctors and family members who have lost loved ones at a two-day summit in Ottawa to hash out a solution to escalating -- and deadly -- rates of drug addiction.
