Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for your attendance here today and for your expertise on this very important bill.
I am troubled by the Canadian Bar Association's opposition to mandatory minimum sentences. I think we resolved the issue when Mr. MĂ©nard was asking questions regarding its applicability. Specifically, in the situation Ms. Inness cited with respect to a grower who had a single plant and was sharing it with his friends, that person would be subject to the mandatory minimum sentences.
Are you or is your association, which you represent, opposed to mandatory minimum sentences generally or just for what you regard as small amounts of a specific controlled substance, cannabis, marijuana?
