I'd like to carry on with what Dr. Morin was speaking to with regard to the medical marijuana. My expertise and background are as a retired member of the RCMP, and I did a number of years of drug work. I applaud the ministry for the initiatives they've taken on revamping the regulations with regard to the medical marijuana initiative.
I do believe that everyone in this room would concur that for some cases medical marijuana has been found to be a very good source of pain relief, as well as other opportunities that are available, but there was rampant abuse in the old system. I wonder if you could provide to this committee some of the improvements in the new regulations that will better satisfy not only those who will be able to have marijuana for medicinal use but also those who were concerned about its rampant abuse.
