Supervised Injection Site Ottawa

Before the end of June 2017, will the federal government approve a supervised injection site in Ottawa?
Yes: 15%

The Sandy Hill Community Health Centre is seeking federal approval for a supervised injection site (see article here).  With the appropriate approval, the Centre hopes to open the site by "spring 2017".  The mayor and police chief are opposed, but some councillors and the medical officer of health support it.  I think the lack of approval from municipal authorities will be sufficient to stop this proposal, or at least delay it beyond the end date of this question.
