Mr. Speaker, the approach to cannabis does not work. It has allowed criminals and organized crime to profit while failing to keep cannabis out of the hands of youth.
We respect the work that the Senate has been doing, and we look forward to reviewing the recommendations brought forward by the social affairs committee.
Our government is confident that Bill C-45 can be adopted later this June. Our government has taken important steps to address specific interests expressed by indigenous committees and other groups.
We will continue to collaborate with the provinces and territories to ensure that a reasonable transition to a legal market is brought forward.
