Thank you, Mr. Moore.

I don't know if this has been addressed yet, but I think the question has been skirted a couple of times on Bill C-9. It has a ten-year maximum. Traffickers basically end up with a 14- or 15-year sentence, maximum. Simple possession would not be captured under Bill C-9, but trafficking could be. What would happen in a drug court if you had a trafficker who has an addiction?
