Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to propose a subamendment. I think that's been shared with the members.
I echo fully what Mr. Garrison has indicated with respect to simple possession. I know we want to support Canadians who may have been impacted by charges or convictions of that sort. I think it's important to allow for pathways in order for people, many of whom are young, to be able to continue their lives without a serious interruption, whether it be with respect to jobs, engagement within the community or any other place where a criminal record check is required.
We've just changed the language slightly. It does not in any way change the intent or substance of the amendment that's been put forward by Mr. Garrison.
We hope members can support this. It's a small step, and I believe it's a modest step toward supporting those who have had primarily addictions and possession charges in their lives.
