Minister, I took note of one very loose thread you mentioned here about a precursor to meth. How do you reconcile that?
I would think everyone acknowledges that you have been defending the indefensible as of late, including defending this Prime Minister. Four out of five Canadians want him to step down, but you continue to defend him. Now you're defending your government's heavy-handed approach that targets small business while turning a blind eye, as I mentioned, to real criminals.
You will recall your government's Bill C-5. You introduced the subject of meth into this discussion, so I am going to ask you a question on this. How do you reconcile your government's legislation? For importing and exporting schedule I drugs and for producing schedule I drugs in Canada—that means running a meth lab, for example—it says that an individual convicted of running a meth lab or importing meth or a precursor product for meth, cocaine or heroin can now serve their sentence from the comfort of their home.
I think Canadians now know with hindsight that your government got it wrong when it comes to illegal drugs, but how do you reconcile coming down—
