" ...
Dan Harris, the riding’s current MP, occupies Simson’s former office and said he hasn’t spoken to the owner or seen anyone enter or leave the unmarked address, but added “we have not had one constituent come in to talk to us about that building since I’ve been elected.”

A New Democrat, Harris said the Conservative government appears to oppose marijuana on ideological grounds and wants to make obtaining medical marijuana “as arduous as possible,” but said it would be better to put the Birch Cliff grow op in an industrial area. “It shouldn’t be next door to families.”

Simson’s bill was poorly thought out, Harris said, because having to inform neighbours about a grow op in a multi-unit building could put people at risk.

re: Does Dan Harris support the removal of cannabis as a schedule II controlled substance from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (S.C. 1996, c. 19)?
Dear Dan Harris,
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 306 Members of Parliament are being asked these same questions.
