The Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Status of Women & Liberal Member of Parliament for 35106 Thunder Bay-Superior North (Ontario)
****
Hello:
The Liberal Party is committing to the legalization of marijuana. Further, as the author of the Thunder Bay Drug Strategy, I understand that the legalization of cannabis is the evidence-based way to reduce access by underage youth, decrease the criminalization of people who use substances, and ensure that marijuana consumed by Canadians is quality tested. Legalization can also generate revenue through taxation and save money on incarceration for substance use and trafficking related infractions.
I am firmly in support of cannabis legalization and in fact feel that better education of the Canadian public is required to help voters understand the flaws with the NDP stance of decriminalization, the largest being the supply remaining with the black market.
Patty Hajdu
Liberal Candidate, Thunder Bay Superior North riding

We, the undersigned, Citizens or residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to establish an independent, fully-empowered Royal Commission into the health, social and economic costs associated with the legalization of Cannabis use including costs associated with prohibition, discrimination, organized crime, political favouritism and corruption.
