Manitoba proposes multi-day detentions for severely intoxicated individuals, mainly due to methamphetamine, to improve public safety and access to care.
Manitoba will introduce legislation to extend detention periods for people severely intoxicated by drugs like methamphetamine, citing safety risks and the drug’s prolonged effects.
Premier Wab Kinew said the current 24-hour limit under the Intoxicated Persons Detention Act is inadequate, with police, doctors, and residents pushing for change.
The bill, expected this fall, would allow multi-day holds with access to medical, mental health, and treatment services.
Winnipeg police and Mayor Scott Gillingham welcomed the move, while advocates warned extended holds must be paired with long-term supports.
