Thank you, Chair.
Let me add my voice of
welcome to the panel. Thank you for sharing your day with us. We
appreciate your involvement and your expertise.
I have a couple of questions.
First of all, Doug, let
me run this by you. If Canada were to legalize marijuana and one of the
Olympians tested positive for marijuana, would the other countries
disqualify him or her from competition, given whatever the current
situation is on marijuana?

The anti-doping
rules are governed by the World Anti-Doping Code. It's a uniform and
global set of requirements. Currently, cannabis is a prohibited
substance in competition. It has a specific threshold associated with
the tests we conduct. An athlete in competition found to have cannabis
present in their system above that threshold would be subject to an
anti-doping rule violation regardless of the legal and civil environment
of whatever country they come from.

Okay, thank you.
Jeremy, you've been
working on this for a long time. Maybe you can share with us how
athletes get started on doping. We're talking playground to podium. Now,
little kids don't get doped. Maybe they get a popsicle at the end of
the day for a reward, but they're not into doping. But somewhere between
that playground and that podium they get hooked on something or other.
Can you tell us how that happens?
If I look back on my own
time in athletics, which was fairly extensive, it would never have
entered my mind, or the minds of any of the people I competed with, to
get into the doping bag. That was totally not doable, not viable. You
would be looked at as kind of a nut case if you even smoked. What's
happened? How has this happened?
If we don't know how it
happens, we'll never change it. Putting together—I don't know—35 labs
does not change that landscape. It just tells you there are 35 labs busy
checking folks who are hooked on dope.

Dear Ray Boughen,
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?
I look forward to receiving your responses as it will be made public, so then others wont need to ask you the same question.
Kind regards,
Sam Vekemans (address)
P.S. All 303 Members of Parliament are being asked these same questions.
