Strahl speaks out against marihuana grow-ops

"Ottawa- Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP, Mark Strahl stood in the House of Commons today to speak out against marihuana grow-ops:
"Mr. Speaker, I recently met with a number of families who are concerned by a large marihuana grow operation that has sprung up in their neighbourhood.
"Shockingly, this massive grow op is considered a legal grow under the Medical Marihuana Access Program regulations set up by a previous Liberal government.
"Medical marihuana grow ops have grown out of control in my riding of Chilliwack--Fraser Canyon. Families in Chilliwack are concerned that their children, their safety and their standard of living is all put at risk when a grow op is located in their community.
"Organized crime has infiltrated the Program, and there is no ability for city officials or firefighters to even know where these so called legal grows are located.
"Fortunately, our government is making significant changes to the Program, and we will make it illegal to grow medical marihuana in neighbourhoods by March 2014.
"Unfortunately, the NDP and the Liberals have opposed our efforts to get rid of these grow ops. It's time for them to get on board with our government, keep families safe, and get marihuana grow ops out of our neighbourhoods."
