Pursuant to Standing Order 45, the House proceeded to the taking of the deferred recorded division on the motion of Mr. Rankin (Victoria), seconded by Ms. Quach (Salaberry—Suroît), — That the House: (a) recognize the contradiction of continuing to give Canadian criminal records for simple possession of marijuana after the government has stated that it should not be a crime; (b) recognize that this situation is unacceptable to Canadians, municipalities and law enforcement agencies; (c) recognize that a growing number of voices, including that of a former Liberal prime minister, are calling for decriminalization to address this gap; and (d) call upon the government to immediately decriminalize the simple possession of marijuana for personal use.	Conformément à l'article 45 du Règlement, la Chambre procède au vote par appel nominal différé sur la motion de M. Rankin (Victoria), appuyé par Mme Quach (Salaberry—Suroît), — Que la Chambre : a) reconnaisse la contradiction de continuer à donner un casier judiciaire aux Canadiens pour la simple possession de marijuana après que le gouvernement a affirmé que la simple possession de marijuana ne devrait pas être un crime; b) reconnaisse que cette situation est inacceptable pour les Canadiens, les municipalités et les autorités policières; c) reconnaisse qu’un nombre croissant de voix, incluant celle d’un ancien premier ministre libéral, demandent la décriminalisation pour combler cette lacune; d) réclame du gouvernement qu’il décriminalise immédiatement la possession simple de marijuana pour une utilisation personnelle.
The question was put on the motion and it was negatived on the following division:	La motion, mise aux voix, est rejetée par le vote suivant :

Dear Sam,

Thank you for contacting me on this matter.

This issue is being studied and I will wait to render a position to your questions until I hear the evidence through the consultation process.  

The quote you have of me in your email, as well as on your website, is not something I have said.

Young Liberals have a strong role to play in the Liberal Party of Canada. In the past, Young Liberals have influenced the Liberal Party to take a stance on same sex marriage, commitment to the Kyoto protocol and more recently with the legalization of marijuana.
