R-2.2.0.0.01 - Opioid-related Damages and Health Care Costs Recovery Act
Section 31
Disposition versions
31. The Government of Canada has, against any manufacturer, wholesaler and consultant, the same right as that of the Government under this Act to recover the opioid-related health care costs caused or contributed to by a wrong committed by any of them.
The health care costs referred to in the first paragraph include the cost of medical services, hospital services and other health services and social services, including pharmaceutical services and drugs, that the Government of Canada covers on behalf of the recipients of those services through programs intended specifically for them because of their membership in a population group.
The right of recovery provided for in this section and the conditions for exercising it are governed by the provisions of Chapter II, except section 12.
