McLeod said she tried marijuana a couple of times in her university days, but doesn't like Trudeau's admission that he has smoked a joint as a sitting MP.

"I think when you are a member of Parliament, you are a legislator.  You need to be cognizant and a good role model in terms of the laws of our country, regardless of whether you agree with them or not," she said.

McLeod also disputes Trudeau's claims about legalization, claiming legalization would make underage smoking even more of a concern.

She said her Conservative government is concentrating on changing its policies on medical marijuana, to have the drug grown by government contractors instead of individual users.

McLeod said a more relaxed drug policy for non-medical users isn't on the table.
