I think it's an important point that you've made that these are not people with a baggie.
Part of the problem, I think, with this bill is that it's not as advertised. The government talks about minor possession, even though there is a directive that has been issued not to prosecute such cases. What the substance of the bill does offer is eliminating mandatory jail time for trafficking offences and the importing, exporting and production of schedule I and schedule II drugs.
Speaking of schedule I and schedule II drugs, we have an opioid crisis in Canada. Twenty Canadians die a day.
Can you elaborate on the connection between those who are involved in the trafficking of contraband tobacco and those who are involved in perpetuating the opioid crisis in Canada?
