Dear Sam Vekemans:

Thank you for your email and the attached draft bill regarding cannabis prohibition. I appreciate your taking the time to write.

My colleagues, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, the Minister of Health, and I have a mandate to work together to create a federal-provincial-territorial process that will lead to the legalization and regulation of marijuana. This process will likely provide opportunity for consultation and input from stakeholders. I have taken the liberty of forwarding a copy of your correspondence to my colleagues for their consideration.

Again, thank you for writing.

Sincerely,

Lawrence MacAulay, PC, MP

c.c.:      The Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould, PC, MP

            The Honourable Jane Philpott, PC, MP

            The Honourable Ralph Goodale, PC, MP

P.E.I. Liberal MPs support Trudeau's pot stance

'Finally we have a political leader who's honest, who's open and who's human,' says Liberal MP

The other two Liberal MPs on P.E.I. -- Cardigan MP Lawrence MacAulay and Malpeque MP Wayne Easter -- also said they support their leader's stand on legalizing marijuana.

MacAulay was at the Dundas Plowing match on Friday, a popular rural fair, where values tend to be more traditional.
He has never been outspoken about legalizing marijuana, but he does back Trudeau's position.
"The problem is, if society wants it, society generally gets it. It looks like marijuana, obviously, as far as the Liberals are concerned will be legalized and that's just simply the way it is," said MacAulay.
