Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his speech.
It will come as no surprise that I am going to talk about an aspect of the budget implementation bill that bothers me.
I know that my colleague is concerned about the situation of persons with limitations, challenges, or those who are ill.
For years, doctors have been prescribing medical cannabis. For some people, it is the only way to deal with chronic pain or very intense pain. Medical cannabis was not taxed by the federal government. Now, for no reason, under Bill C-74, this product will be taxed, compromising some people's ability to receive care and not live in pain.
I would like the hon. member's thoughts on that.
