Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to ask a question about something in your report. It mentions that you are proposing changes to the Marihuana Medical Access Program.
Currently, the individuals who want access to this program have to wait much longer than the six to eight weeks you are suggesting. Quite frequently, people who are sick and are often at the end of their lives, must contact other clubs or use other means to buy marihuana in order to be able to relieve the symptoms of their illnesses.
We don't understand why you are not conducting a comprehensive review before making amendments to prevent people from growing their own marihuana for medical purposes. Why don't you ask compassion clubs to help you do the research to assist those people who really need medication or assistance at the end of their lives?
