Ontario has tabled a bill that aims to shutter 10 supervised consumption sites the government deems are too close to schools and daycares.

The bill, if passed by the majority Progressive Conservative government, would also require municipalities to get provincial approval to launch new supervised consumption sites.

The bill would also require municipalities to get provincial approval to participate in the federal safer supply program that sees doctors prescribe pharmaceutical-grade opioids to those with substance-use disorders.
