Fentanyl sentencing
Hamadeh proposes reclassifying fentanyl in the criminal code as a “dangerous” drug or a “poison,” which he says would allow harsher punishment and enhanced sentencing. He presents this as a way to respond to fentanyl-related harm.
Context: The proposal does not specify the exact classification or sentencing changes.
In their own words
