I can say that the reforms to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act enact a declaration of principles for the first time in that federal legislation, and those principles are based on former a private member's bill, Bill C-236, which treated drug-related offences, the use of drugs or simple possession of drugs as a health and a social problem rather than a criminal one.
Where the police officer fails to exercise their discretion to divert at the first point of contact, Crown prosecutors have to apply the exact same principles. Those principles are also informed by the August 2020 guidelines of the director of public prosecutions, which tell us to focus on the more serious, drug-related offences, the ones that endanger public safety, and to redirect those cases that are less serious out of the criminal justice system at the first point of contact.
