I want to avoid the use of the word “prescribe”. It's “authority”. It's the authority a physician gives his or her patient to have access to an amount of marijuana. It has to do with the relationship between the physician and the patient. In 2014, the department, in trying to capture most of the authorities, set the limit at 10 grams. Clearly, that is higher than what Health Canada said. That's precisely why we're doing this review now, in order to provide advice to the minister on how to move forward on this very important issue.
