Cannabis Act  Mr. Speaker, I concur with everything my colleague said. He is absolutely right when he points out the dangers, inability, and unpreparedness of the Liberal government for this legislation. What could be done? We need to stop this. We need to stop this train because this is a wreck.

Cannabis Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to say that I respect the member's office, and I thank him for his service for years as a police chief.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I say, “so what?” The member is right. We have a huge number of young people who are smoking marijuana, far too many. It does not change the fact that this legislation would not correct that or move it in the right direction. Speaking to Bill C-46, the legislation that we are dealing with right now on the laws pertaining to driving, I have three sons who are policemen.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am beginning to think my hon. colleague is seeing the light. The member is absolutely right.
