I actually have limited time, so excuse me; I want to move on to some other questions.
We often hear from the
opposition that oftentimes somebody who's growing, for example, six
marijuana plants will be deported without an appeal for their crime.
Well, first, they can
always appeal that, as you know. Second, we had a witness recently who
said, “Do you know how much marijuana comes from six plants?”
Do you know, by any chance?

No, but I don't have a problem with that.

Well, it's a lot.
Third, our law would like
to take into consideration that six marijuana plants were in fact used
for trafficking. The judge will decide, via the police, what the actual
use of that was going to be.
Drug trafficking is a serious crime in this country. Would you agree with that?

Everybody has their own opinion. I myself don't think marijuana's a problem, sorry.

Okay, but that's not what I asked you. I asked you if you think drug trafficking is a serious crime in this country.
