The political calculus here is that by making this change just before 4 months of daily question period in which the safe supply diversion problem was going to feature heavily, it gives the NDP a pivot out from underneath the issue it has been negligent overseeing this.
On whether Prov Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry (who has supported non-witnessed safe supply and been less concerned about diversion) was consulted about this, Health Min Josie Osborne says no, and gov doesn't always agree with Dr. Henry.
