I have quick questions.
If I compare Bill C-428 to Bill C-475, I think there are three major differences. For one, your bill adds ecstasy. Two, it clears up how the previous intent section was drafted. It had sort of a passive use, “is intended for”, and yours is clearer in that it says “knowing”. In other words, the intent is very clear that it's with the accused, not objectified by the previous language.
I think the third point is that it specifies a maximum sentence of ten years. I'm not clear about what Bill C-428--unless I didn't get all the pages--intended to do for penalty. Maybe you can answer that.
The second thing I wanted ask you was, if someone is producing a listed drug in the schedule, is the maximum sentence ten years now? I didn't look it up so I don't know. Is this in league with the sentences that are there for other combined drugs?
