Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Tues. July 8th, 2025

July 8, 2025

A decision from the Ford government to prohibit HART Hubs from handing out sterile needles will put more people at risk of HIV and Hepatitis C transmission. That is the latest argument from the HIV Legal Network. For context, back in December, the province officially turned the Community Care and Recovery Act into law. It requires that existing supervised drug consumption sites be at least 200 metres away from schools and daycare centres. Because of that, nine sites in Ontario were told to stop offering supervised consumption services, and were ultimately converted into HART Hubs. This act is now being challenged in a court of law, as critics claim that the province’s new policy is violating its own guidelines and advisory committees. Kristy Cameron opens the debate floor with Sandra Ka Hon Chu, the Co-Executive Director of the HIV Legal Network. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
