Vancouver's safe injection site has been saved from Harper's attempts to shut it down. The Supreme Court of Canada has held that not allowing the clinic to operate would violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The Court stopped short of ruling the government must approve other applications for safe injection clinics, holding that where there is no evidence that a supervised injection site would have a negative impact on public safety, the minister "should generally grant an exemption."
