The Mounties have reached an agreement with China to try and halt the transpacific flow of Fentanyl into Canada. RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson and Chen Zhimin, the vice-minister of China's public security ministry, have agreed to boost efforts to disrupt the flow of Fentanyl and other opioids. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale says the agreement comes on the heels of a meeting of Canadian and Chinese officials last week and the prime minister's recent talks with his Chinese counterpart.
