Dianne Lynn Watts, Conservative Member of Parliament for 59030 South Surrey-White Rock (BC)
"
But Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said she won't be endorsing marijuana reform.
"The drug dealers are targeting our kids and we are a city with the most kids in the province," Watts said. "So for me, it's not a road I want to walk down."
She said the debate over decriminalization is a matter of federal jurisdiction.
Watts also said marijuana reform wouldn't stop the underground market in other drugs.
"I don't think people are willing to go down the road of legalizing every single drug, including synthetic drugs. That would be absurd."
