I perhaps should have said in my first answer to the committee member's question, Mr. Chair, that the proposed cannabis act would provide greater flexibility for the minister to authorize different types of cannabis research than we do now. What I mean by that is it would improve the current process that requires individuals to seek an exemption in order to be able to do this kind of research.
I think one of the virtues of the proposed legislation is that it will enable and facilitate research. I perhaps should have mentioned that from the outset.
