Supreme Court backs Good Samaritan law in drug overdose incidents
October 24, 2025
The Supreme Court of Canada in a ruling on Friday broadly supported legal protections for people who call for emergency help during an overdose.
The 6-3 decision offers an expansive reading of a 2017 law passed by the federal Liberal government under former prime minister Justin Trudeau. The Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act aimed to help reduce overdose deaths by providing some legal immunity during an overdose.
