Trudeau not budging on efforts to legalize cannabis by this summer

Trudeau not budging on efforts to legalize cannabis by this summer

If you’ve noticed a slight disturbance in the force this week, it’s because Canadians have been nervously awaiting a response to the proposed one-year delay of the federal legalization of cannabis.

Stomping out any speculation from his initially evasive response on Wednesday (May 2), Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a clear and firm message to the press in the House of Commons today (May 3).

‘Every single day, Canadians are hurt and harmed by the current approach on marijuana. It’s not working,’ he said in a media scrum.

‘We are going to be moving forward this summer on the legalization of cannabis.’

This comes in response to a surge of pushback against Bill C-45, the Cannabis Act, over the last few weeks in the Senate—the most recent being a call for a minimum one-year delay by the Senate Standing Committee on Aboriginal Peoples.

The committee urged Liberals to push the vote on the grounds that Indigenous communities were underrepresented in the consultation process. Topics the committee wishes to address before the bill is finalized include the sharing of excise tax revenue, addiction prevention, public health education, and the ability to choose legalization in respective regions.

Defending the proposed framework, Trudeau said all regulations were based on months, if not years, of consultations and data. He also reaffirmed that this bill was a campaign promise and a public health and safety issue he intends to fix.

‘We have been talking about this since well before we formed government. We have been working with our partners across the country on making this happen and we are going to be moving forward this summer,’ he said.

The federal government also faced harsh criticism from the Canadian Real Estate Association as it called for a moratorium on home cultivation. CEO Michael Bourque appeared at a Senate committee panel on Monday (April 30) to raise concerns about the increased risk of property damage, fires, and crime, if consumers are allowed to grow up to four plants in their households.

‘It’s not an event, it’s a process,’ said Trudeau, leaving the door open for changes and improvements to the bill post-legalization.

‘We will continue to work with our partners in provinces, municipalities, and in Indigenous communities to ensure we are getting this right and we’re moving forward in a responsible way.’

The final Senate vote is set to take place on June 7.

Kirk's journey through the digital realm began with lines of code and algorithms dancing in his dreams. Armed with a keyboard and an insatiable curiosity, he embarked on the path of software engineering. However, fate had a smoky twist in store for him. As the ones and zeros swirled around him, Kirk had an epiphany – he realized that he was more interested in the highs and lows of the cannabis industry than debugging lines of code. With a leap of faith that would make a bungee jumper blush, he bid farewell to the world of semicolons and database queries and embraced the intoxicating allure of cannabis journalism. Now, Kirk finds himself navigating a different kind of network, one that's all about buds, trichomes, and terpenes. Armed with a pen that's mightier than a vaporizer and a keen eye for detail, he's on a mission to unravel the mysteries of the green world.
