Criminal Code   them to make their way forward in life, just like other Canadians. The Liberals previously set up a record suspension process for marijuana when it was legalized, but I have to point out that that process cleared the records of only 484 of the hundreds of thousands of people

Medical Assistance in Dying committee  There are some things that are just so high risk. We have age limits for alcohol, marijuana, illicit drugs and even driving because we know that children are highly vulnerable in this stage of development.

The courts apply a sliding scale to capacity, meaning that decisions that carry grave consequences require more scrutiny. In some cases, a total prohibition is necessary to avoid future harms, such as with marijuana, alcohol

Health committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. My first question is for you, Ms. Weber, as it concerns your field of activity. I'd like to talk to you about the movement of certain narcotics. Before marijuana was legalized, the federal government, through the Department of Health, granted

Health committee  Let me interrupt you, because I don't think you understood the question. I'll state it more clearly. I'm talking about people over the age of majority who obtain permits to grow marijuana and have a very large number of plants at home. Mayors in my riding are concerned because

Justice committee  The answer is yes. The reason being is that I live beside a park, and ever since the law has been lax on marijuana, there has been a rise in criminal activity in the park. From my window, I see people using and dealing drugs. I see them speeding away while impaired

Justice committee  It depends on the circumstances. For example, before the arrival of mandatory minimums.... For example, take the production of marijuana with a mandatory minimum of six months. Oftentimes, new immigrants or people who come to the country without many resources will take

Small Business  . The United States is beginning to figure it out. It is not marijuana. We want to grow hemp. It is an incredible product. It can be used for many things. I am encouraging the parliamentary secretary, as I have many on that side, to get hemp out of health and into agriculture

Human Resources committee   is the medical use of marijuana. I sat on a health and welfare trust fund where we were able to include medical marijuana as an expense that the plan would cover.

Justice committee  , and marijuana was legalized, not decriminalized, but the sky did not fall when marijuana was legalized in Canada. If sex work were to be decriminalized in Canada, it doesn't mean that people are going to turn out and start working in the sex industry in greater numbers than they are right

Justice committee  Sure. We would most definitely not say that legalization would do that. A legalized industry we can, in a very loose way, just for comprehension, compare it to the way marijuana was legalized in Canada, where the government actually controls the where, how and when it can happen

Science and Research committee   you started with the winery, and now have the distillery. The last time I was down there, greenhouses were looking at, perhaps, marijuana research, so you have the whole suite. Are those in partnerships with private industry at all, or do you have your own brands?
