Thank you, Chair.
I just have a few short questions, and then I'm going to pass it on to Monsieur Paul-Hus, if I could, after I'm finished.
I first want to echo what my colleague said. I think I was serving in finance at the time, Mr. Ferguson, and nobody doubted your credentials, but there was some real criticism about your inability to speak French. Anybody that was born in the same decade we were born in knows how difficult it is to learn another language, and I want to commend you. I think you've accomplished something that's quite extraordinary.
There was a question raised, and I don't know if we got clarification on it, at least not in my mind. I googled “marijuana order in Canada” just now, and I had 10 sites that popped up. An example is Ganja Express, “a Canadian company based in BC that provides legal, safe access to high quality...Marijuana” for medical and recreational use across Canada. This is an advertisement at a time when we have not yet legalized marijuana.
I'm wondering with the complications we have at the border, where you see that in another.... Well if the Liberals do legalize marijuana by July 1, as they've said they're going to do, what do you foresee in the future as far as that legislation is concerned in regard to this legislation?
