B.C. Premier David Eby recently pledged the NDP would change the law in the next legislative session to “provide clarity and ensure that people, including youth, can and should receive care when they are unable to seek it themselves” Eby proposed that those who repeatedly overdose might need involuntary treatment rather than rapid discharge from hospital to risk overdose again.

Eby should be congratulated, not castigated, for the fact that his position has evolved.
