I'm very pleased that you identified investments in public education in the budget. As you know, when it comes to cannabis our government has made a commitment to work toward legislation that will legalize cannabis, regulate it, and restrict access for the purpose of keeping cannabis out of the hands of kids and the profits of this industry out of the hands of criminal organizations. To that end, one of the very important recommendations we received from the task force is to make sure there is a broad public education campaign. I believe $9.6 million has been identified in the budget to begin that.
Some very important work has been done by the department in developing what that public education campaign will look like. The very beginnings of it have started to roll out but I know people will look forward to seeing an expansion of that. There is ongoing funding in that and, of course, when the legislation is tabled it will be important that we appropriately resource this important aspect of public education.
