Mr. Speaker, court rulings in 2001 have required government to allow legal access to medical marijuana for those authorized by a physician. However, the use of marijuana and the system that allowed home growing ran contrary to the concerns of doctors and Health Canada itself, which has never endorsed its use.
My constituents are concerned about the existence of marijuana in our community and its potential health effects.
Can the Minister of Health please tell the House what our government is doing to protect the health and safety of Canadian families and communities?
