Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Before I ask a question, Chair, I would like to get something on the record here. Mr. Marston's question was an apparent attempt to characterize the members on this side of the committee as somehow naive about teens and drugs. You heard Mrs. DeGroote say that Halton has some of the worst problems in this respect. Marijuana is the drug of choice for young people. In grades 7 to 12, 34% use marijuana. And it causes depression, it's linked with many cancers including brain cancer, it can cause psychosis, and it leads to diabetes. It's also linked to automobile accidents and industrial accidents, including death. So we're the party who wants to keep marijuana illegal for all of those reasons.
And it's your party and the Liberal Party who want to legalize marijuana, Mr. Marston. So I want to point out who was actually being naive about the risks of drugs.
Dr. Buckley, I think you remember that we met in Oakville at a seminar for young people with connective tissue disorders.
