Mr. Speaker, a number of discussions have taken place in recent months regarding the use of cannabis in Canada.
The Senate report, which was tabled in August or September, favoured legalizing the drug.
Then, the report tabled before Christmas by the House committee advocated decriminalization, which is not to be confused with legalization.
At the time, I made it clear that the government would examine both reports and table, at the earliest opportunity, a balanced policy reflecting the values of all Canadians.
