Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for his work on the health committee.
He talked about how the Liberal government decided to delay the introduction of edibles by a year because of the health and safety risks. Why would the Liberals be willing to delay and slow down when they recognized the risks? They said they will follow the advice from other jurisdictions about public awareness and education before legalization, that police need to be trained, and that provinces and territories should be ready. While these things have been announced, they are not in place.
Will the government delay the implementation until it is ready to address the health and safety risks?
