We also supported the same Prime Minister in introducing same-sex marriage and imposing a moratorium on the criminalization of cannabis. However, governments that ignored Quebec or abused the rights of Quebeckers remember the opposition work of the Bloc Québécois.

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.

Quebec should look to Colorado, wishes St-Maurice

PC | By The Canadian Press Posted: 1/5/2014 11:50 ET | Updated: 05/01/2014 12:49 ET

"
However, Canada appears to deviate from this avenue, Ottawa has announced the end of access to marijuana program on March 31. Canadians use cannabis for therapeutic purposes will now buy from authorized by the RCMP commercial producers.
A deplorable decision that Mr. St-Maurice, who is "very disturbed" by the context in which it was taken.
"People (who use for medical purposes) have invested significant sums for their facilities and are suddenly forced to buy from a company. This is not a responsible approach, "he said.
The majority of marijuana use for recreational purposes, a reason to legalize said Mr. St-Maurice, as the criminalization of substance to regulate this behavior has "never worked."
"We should be realistic and admit that it is an activity that occurs. There are fifteen, twenty years, we wanted to deny homosexuality but we finally woke up and we would have thought the same-sex marriage was crazy but now think no more. "
 "

Le Québec devrait prendre exemple sur le Colorado, souhaite St-Maurice

PC  |  Par La Presse Canadienne Publication: 05/01/2014 11:50 EST  |  Mis à jour: 05/01/2014 12:49 EST

Le Canada semble toutefois s'écarter de cette avenue, Ottawa ayant annoncé la fin du Programme d'accès à la marijuana dès le 31 mars. Les Canadiens consommant du cannabis à des fins thérapeutiques devront dorénavant s'approvisionner auprès de producteurs commerciaux autorisés par la Gendarmerie royale du Canada.
Une décision déplorable selon M. St-Maurice, qui se dit «très dérangé» par le cadre dans laquelle elle a été prise.
«Les gens (qui consomment à des fins médicales) ont investi des sommes importantes pour leurs installations et sont soudainement obligés d'acheter auprès d'une compagnie. Ce n'est pas une approche responsable», a-t-il indiqué.
La majorité des consommateurs de marijuana l'utilisent à des fins récréatives, une raison de plus pour la légaliser, a poursuivi M. St-Maurice, puisque la criminalisation de la substance pour encadrer ce comportement n'a «jamais fonctionné».
«On devrait être réaliste, admettre que c'est une activité qui se produit. Il y a quinze, vingt ans, on voulait nier l'homosexualité mais on a fini par se réveiller et on aurait pensé que le mariage du même sexe était une folie mais aujourd'hui on n'y pense même plus.»

Dear Jean-François Fortin,
Do you support the simple removal of cannabis as a schedule II controlled substance from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (S.C. 1996, c. 19)?, and let it be treated the same as Lettuce, Tomato, Oregano, Roses, Aloe Vera, Fern or any other common garden herb, flower or house plant?
Do you know the difference between Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis?

André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC

Mr. Speaker, ... ...
There is a big difference between someone who commits a serious crime and someone who is found guilty of or charged with possession of drugs—marijuana for example—possession of stolen property under $5,000, or public mischief. I do not have many examples, but I believe a person can be charged with public mischief for urinating on the street or in a parking lot. There is a big difference between that type of public mischief and a more serious crime. I am not saying that people should not be punished for mischief; they should. I am just wondering whether that is reason enough to deport someone. There is a big difference between belonging to a street gang and committing public mischief or being in possession of some marijuana.
