温尼伯的监管毒品站点将禁止16岁以下的人入境, A supervised drug site in Winnipeg will bar those under 16, with officials dismissing youth access concerns as unfounded.

根据毒部长伯纳德特·史密斯的说法, 温尼伯的一个监督的吸毒场所将很快开放, 不允许16岁以下的儿童进入, A supervised drug consumption site in Winnipeg, set to open soon, will not allow anyone under 16, according to Addictions Minister Bernadette Smith, who dismissed concerns about youth access as "fearmongering." 该站点在社区反对派之后迁至商业区,将使用接收表询问吸毒、怀孕和保健服务情况,工作人员在没有身份证的情况下确定年龄。 The site, relocating to a commercial area after community opposition, will use intake forms asking about drug use, pregnancy, and health services, with staff making age determinations if ID is absent. 国民民主党说,不再需要联邦批准,该站点可作为临时或机动单位发射。 The NDP says federal approval is no longer required, and the site may launch as a temporary or mobile unit. 包括马尼托巴托托里斯在内的批评者仍然对未成年人的出入和安全感到关切,但Smith引用了McGill的一项研究表明,多伦多类似地点附近的犯罪没有增加。 Critics, including the Manitoba Tories, remain concerned about underage access and safety, but Smith cited a McGill study showing no increase in crime near similar sites in Toronto.
