Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech and for his knowledge on this matter.
He was very involved in the study of this so-called legalization of marijuana bill, if I can call it that. My colleague mentioned that the possession of more than 30 grams of marijuana will be an offence under the Criminal Code, and that anyone in possession of more than the limit set by the government will be liable to imprisonment. This is the equivalent of saying that being in possession of more than 100 litres of alcohol is a crime. Fortunately, this topic is not being discussed here, since we do not want to go back to prohibition days.
I would like to know whether the government plans on fixing this flaw at a later date and to truly legalize marijuana.
Does my colleague think that marijuana is truly being legalized, when there is still a Criminal Code offence for marijuana possession?
