‘Systemic failure’ found in Sask. forced addiction treatment legislation: First Nations Health Ombudsperson – CTV News
June 04, 2026
The First Nations Health Ombudsperson Office (FNHOO) says it has found “systemic failure” in the province’s new involuntary treatment legislation.
The Compassionate Intervention Act was officially passed last month and allows for forced addictions treatment in certain cases.
Specifically, the province says it applies to those who can’t seek help themselves and may present a danger to themselves or others.
