As tariff talk continues, The Federal Government has named a former Manitoba-based Mountie as the point-person for fighting fentanyl.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Kevin Brosseau will take up this role.
Brosseau spent more than 20 years in the RCMP, serving as a deputy commissioner and the senior Mountie in Manitoba.
His appointment is one of the stipulations that prompted President Donald Trump's promise to pause the 25% Canadian Tariffs for 30 days.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau noted that Brosseau’s role as "fentanyl czar" will involve working closely with U.S. counterparts to accelerate Canada’s efforts to detect, disrupt, and dismantle the illicit trade in the drug.
