To answer my colleague, Mr. Murphy, it is seven years that is provided for in subsection 4(3) of the act.
I have a question which it may not be possible to answer. Why is the term being increased to 10 years rather than being left as it is?
First, we are clearly not opposed to your bill. I even agree with it. However, the bandits are often faster than the police. I'm concerned, having been at the World Antidoping Agency, about Olympic athletes and athletes at all levels.
Everything is already provided for in Schedule I. I've examined it, and everything is entered in it, “Methamphetamine (N,a-dimethylbenzene-ethanamine), salts, derivatives”, etc. Are you going to ask that over-the-counter flu products be banned? It's merely a practical question.
I believe all my colleagues agree with this bill. There's no problem. However, it's the practical question. Would it not have been preferable to establish regulations, which are much easier than amending an act? Everything's already in it. I'm trying to understand what more this offers. That's my question.
