I'd like to begin by saying that I'm perhaps going to seem the odd one out. I'd like to take away the value judgments and moral judgments that I'm hearing a lot of in regard to veterans' use of marijuana. I do not want to have our veterans seen as using this as a joyride, as some people are assuming. That is my first comment.
I want to ask about the costs and how we're using the budget for the authorization of marijuana use, not the prescriptions. Do you have any comparisons? You know how much you've spent on the marijuana. How much lower is it than for your other medications?
The deputy minister made a point of telling us that some veterans used the example of showing a full pack of medication they had stopped using once they started on marijuana.
