Document Summary

1a) what reasons did the federal government give for its decision not to renew the exemption? (5 marks) The federal government had first granted temporary exemptions in 2006 and. 2007, the proposal for exemption was then revoked in 2008. The insite facility operated under both provincial and federal jurisdiction. 2008, the exemption was not granted under conservative government. The reasons as to why there was a rejection of exemption was based on the grounds that the program practices the possession and trafficking of illegal drugs. The federal government viewed insite as an entity of criminalization. The federal government considered this criminalization because the possession of drugs and movement of drug use is documented within the controlled drug and substance act (cdsa). Insite were not directly involved in providing the drugs for consumption but were only involved in the assistance of safe consumption.
