Dear Sam Vekemans,

Thank you for your recent email concerning the legalization of marijuana.

I have always supported decriminalization as the first step to legalization. Thomas Mulcair and our NDP Official Opposition Caucus have publicly stated their support for decriminalization.

Unfortunately, Stephen Harper, as head of government, has publicly stated marijuana will not be de-criminalized or legalized “on his watch.” In fact the Harper government recently put out new proposed guidelines that would make it illegal for medical marijuana users to grow even a small amount for personal use.

I would be happy to receive any other comments you may have on federal issues of concern to you.

Sincerely,

Dear Sam Vekemans,

Thank you for taking the time to write to me about NDP’s marijuana policy. The NDP operates within the decriminalization framework. I encourage you to write to your Member of Parliament, Murray Rankin, about this issue to address your concerns.



Sincerely,

Dear Randall Garrison,
Do you support the simple removal of cannabis as a schedule II controlled substance from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (S.C. 1996, c. 19)?, and let it be treated the same as Lettuce, Tomato, Oregano, Roses, Aloe Vera, Fern or any other common garden herb, flower or house plant?
Do you know the difference between Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis?
I look forward to receiving your responses as it will be made public, so then others wont need to ask you the same question.

OCTOBER 28, 2013 BY CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF CANADA
Statement
Justin Trudeau has a famous last name, but he lacks the judgement to be Prime Minister.
His only policy priority so far is to promote the legalization of marijuana. He wants to make it available for sale, like alcohol and tobacco. But that would dramatically increase its availability to minors and send the message that recreational drug use is acceptable.
To highlight Justin Trudeau’s policy and his lack of judgement, the Conservative Party has released ads in communities across Canada.
Stephen Harper’s Conservative Government is following a very different priority, working to help make our streets and communities safer. This includes combatting drug trafficking and grow-ops, especially in residential areas.
Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t stop to consider the harmful effects of marijuana on users and society, especially when it comes to younger Canadians. Justin Trudeau’s plan to make marijuana more freely available without considering the consequences shows he doesn’t have the judgement to be Prime Minister. He’s in way over his head.

2Jan2014 - Tax collection agency looking to cut auditors
BY JASON FEKETE, POSTMEDIA NEWS JANUARY 2, 2014
"
The briefing books and letter highlight the increasing focus on international tax evasion and need to further attack the problem. They also explain the multibillion-dollar risk posed by the underground economy “will remain a persistent and difficult challenge.”
The underground economy is particularly troublesome in the booming western provinces. In Vancouver, a large percentage of self-employed individuals, high-priced real estate and “the prevalence of marijuana grow operations” are identified as problems related to the underground economy.

Letter to the Privacy Commissioner on Marihuana Medical Access Program Privacy Breach


"
This is a concern, not only because their personal health information was on display for anyone to see, but it also puts their public safety at risk, given the potential for home invasions by those seeking to steal their medical marijuana. Individuals quoted in media reports state that a target has now been placed on their backs, when they are already concerned about the possibility of home invasions.
