flag Manitoba proposes 72-hour drug-related detentions to aid addiction care, pending approval by mid-November.

flag Manitoba introduced a bill on October 2, 2025, proposing to extend drug-related detentions from 24 to 72 hours for individuals under the influence of substances like methamphetamine, allowing health professionals to stabilize them and link them to addiction services. flag The measure, supported by Winnipeg’s police chief, aims to reduce emergency service strain. flag Detention would require medical assessments every 24 hours and does not mandate treatment, but opponents question where detentions would occur and stress the need for mental health and withdrawal care. flag The bill’s passage is uncertain before the session ends in mid-November.
