[1] The Applicant, Chinatown and Area Business Association (hereafter CABA), seeks

[CDS4] issued by Health Canada which allow for the operation of three supervised consumption
sites (SCSs) within close proximity in their community, in addition to a separate in-patient
facility at a local hospital.
(21 The present application in file T-1764-17 is the consolidation of threc applications for
judioial zeview, one for each exemption decision: T-1764-17 for the SCS at Boyle Street
Community Services (Boyle Street); T-1765-17 for the site atthe premises of the George Spady
Society (George Spady); and T-1766-17 for the Boyle McCauley Health Centre (Boyle
‘MoCauley), The recotds filed with respect to each application are essentially the seme, save for
particulars that are specific to each site. The applications were heard together and a copy of these
reasons and judgment will bo placed on each file,
[3] CABA submits that they are not opposed to injection drug users getting help, or to the
hospital site, but contend that as representatives of a community directly affected by the
decisions, they were not properly consulted of the exemption decisions. They further contend
that opening threo sites within six city blocks of each other, in eddition to the nearby in-patient
hospital site, will impdse an unfair burden on the community, At the hearing, they suggested that
if the applications for judiotal review were granted, the order with respect to Boyle McCauley
should be stayed for six months in order for supervised consumption services to continue at that
location while the Ministor reconsidered these matters,
