Dear Mr. Vekemans,

Thank you for writing to Mrs. Bibeau.

The first priority of the Government is to protect Canadians’ public health and public safety.  We recognize that the current system is broken, and we have committed to working with health and safety experts from across the country to implement a new, more effective plan.

As the Minister of Health, the Hon. Jane Philpott, stated “we will introduce legislation in the Spring of 2017 that ensures we keep marijuana out of the hands of children and profits out of the hands of criminals.”  In the coming weeks, the Government will launch a task force that will provide expert advice on how the legalization process should take place; it will include perspectives from many different sectors, including health, justice, law enforcement, and public safety.

Thank you again for writing to Mrs. Bibeau on this important matter. I encourage you to continue the conversation and reach out again on any issue of concern.

Yours sincerely,

.@mclaudebibeau You DID NOT VOTE for/against decriminalization cannabis motion. How would you have voted? #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/AqUrh7xIGY

Marijuana delivered to the office of Marie-Claude Bibeau

(SHERBROOKE) Police of Sherbrooke had to visit the office of the member for Compton-Stanstead Marie-Claude Bibeau, earlier this week, to retrieve an outgoing parcel of the ordinary.

Staff of the Minister of International Development and Francophonie discovered cannabis in an envelope received at the Queen Street office in Sherbrooke.

It also contained an explanatory letter and a book on the history of marijuana in Canada.

The people of the constituency office contacted the Sherbrooke Police Service (SPS). The package was later transferred to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), said Martin Carrier, spokesman for the SPS.

The investigation of this case was referred to the RCMP, as other MPs and ministers received such envelope early this year.

Dana Larsen, a militant promarijuana of British Columbia, would have sent the Liberal members a copy of his book on the history of cannabis and a gram of the drug.

Recall Liberal Premier Justin Trudeau promised to legalize marijuana. All this comes as federal officials advised him to take his time to fulfill that promise. Officials invite provide enough time to reach agreement with the provinces on this contentious issue.
