"
Liberal candidate Larry Bagnell appeared to welcome the question about marijuana, saying his party is the only one willing to go a step further and legalize marijuana sales and use. He flashed the audience a double thumbs-up.

"Eventually the proceeds from crime will no longer go to the Mafia, but they'll go to the government to provide services for youth," Bagnell said.

 Hansard - 12 (October 31, 2013)

    Mr. Speaker, our government prioritizes safe streets and communities for Canadian families. Unfortunately, the leader of the Liberal Party prioritizes legalizing marijuana above everything else.


    Families in my community were shocked to hear that the leader of the third party made as his first and his only policy declaration that he wanted to make it easier for children to access illegal drugs. He pointed to the example in the regulation of alcohol being available as why pot should be legalized.
    Parents in my community see through the Liberal leader's rhetoric, and we know that teens are twice as likely to consume alcohol in the past year as pot. Regulating rules for alcohol did not prevent teens from accessing it.
    By sending this message that recreational drug use is acceptable, the Liberal leader is showing once again that he is not material for prime minister of our country and that he is definitely way in over his head.
