Black is suing the province under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to put a halt to the knew restrictions and to provide her with an exemption so she can continue to access the treatment as she did previously.The province said it is reviewing the statement of claim and couldn’t provide further comment on the case as it is before the courts.
The lawsuit says Black currently has a prescription for the drug, which she takes three times a day intravenously at home. As Black doesn’t drive, she would have to travel about six hours per day on public transit to get to the clinic. “Opioids provided Black relief from the struggles she endured, but her use resulted in developing a significant dependency,” says the claim.Article content
