Legalization Of Marijuana For Health And Medical Purposes  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I think you would find unanimous consent to allow the member to finish the four minutes.

Legalization Of Marijuana For Health And Medical Purposes  Is there unanimous consent for the member to finish?

Legalization Of Marijuana For Health And Medical Purposes  The amendment presented by the member earlier is in order.

Legalization Of Marijuana For Health And Medical Purposes  The Chair will take the motion under advisement and get back to the House with a ruling later.

Legalization Of Marijuana For Health And Medical Purposes  I am sorry to interrupt the hon. member, but his time is up.

Legalization Of Marijuana For Health And Medical Purposes  Not true.

Health  Speaker, yesterday in this House the minister said that the policy of this government and his policy as Minister of Health was to try to help those who believe that the medical use of marijuana can help relieve their symptoms. He has asked his officials to develop a plan that would include the establishment of appropriate clinical guidelines, clinical trials, and deal with the issue of securing safe access.

Supply  I am listening very carefully to the comments of the member for Mississauga West and I am trying to see how marijuana has any relevance to the topic before the House. The member is not addressing the—

Supply  The Reform Party will recall that yesterday the Minister of Health announced a new policy to allow for the medicinal use of marijuana on a pilot project basis. I am curious if the Reform Party caucus might not be one of the first pilot projects.

Controlled Drugs And Substances Act  We have to consider it a criminal offence but we can deal with the consequences associated with marijuana. That is one of the changes that has come through in this newly amended bill. Specifically for possession of marijuana, 30 grams or less, we have reduced the seriousness of the offence.

Controlled Drugs And Substances Act  I have two concerns about this legislation. One is the fact that once again we missed the opportunity to deal more effectively with marijuana and the use of marijuana. We all appreciate that this legislation began under the previous Mulroney administration and was brought forward by this administration with very few amendments at that point.

Questions On The Order Paper  However, an example would be that of a prospective visitor who admits to a minor criminal conviction several years ago, such as driving under the influence, possession of marijuana, or shoplifting, but wishes to come to Canada to visit family. After determining that the individual presents no danger to the public, a minister's permit may be issued to facilitate the visit.

Supply  We must understand when we deal with Bill C-68 and a lot of other legislation that we cannot keep drugs out of our prisons in Canada. We cannot keep heroin out, we cannot keep methadone out, we cannot keep marijuana out, we cannot keep LSD out, we cannot keep anything out of our prisons. They are not ordinary buildings. They are buildings that are surrounded by barbed wire and great big walls. That is relevant.

Canadian Wheat Board Act  He was led away from his farm in shackles and chains because he had the audacity to smuggle his product across the border and sell it privately. Was he growing marijuana? Was he growing opium? Was he growing cocaine? What product he was smuggling across the border in the middle of the night? It was wheat. It was grain. He decided that he could get a better price for the grain he grew on his private property with his own seed that he purchased with his own money, with his own labour and with his own equipment.

Supply  She will soon realize how our justice system is being thrown into disrepute over this provision. Derek Anderson Austin, convicted of cultivating marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking, received a conditional sentence. He had a long record, including possession, trafficking, four failures to appear, driving while disqualified, unlawfully at large and obstruction of police.
