You described the majority of people involved in the marijuana industry as law-abiding, non-violent, and entrepreneurial. This is the black market we talk about really. There's a tendency to think Hells Angels and Crips as organized crime, but you described a very different picture of the thousands of people who are currently involved in this industry.
You have said we have to remember that virtually all the cannabis produced and sold in this country right now is done so unlawfully, but if the government wants to eliminate that portion of the industry, this bill is not the way to go about doing it.
Can you expand on that? Should we bring those people into the legal market? Does Bill C-45 do that, and if not, what should we do to help facilitate that transition?
