Hi, my name is Rebecca. And today I'll be talking about the concerns that could arise due to the fact that the Cannabis Act was passed by the federal government and then they were told that the municipal and the provincial governments had to deal with any efforts or Consequences. So, of course when the federal government examines whether or not should be passed they think about all the different factors that go into it the pros and cons and
 And at the end of the day, they would choose they would choose to pass the ACT based on whether the car the pros outweigh the cons for the people in society in Canada, which is what the government ultimately wants to do. They want to benefit Society. They want to help us advance. So some concerns that could arise by having the government the federal and the municipal government dealing with the after-effects is that they will have less
 sources and less time to deal with other issues or more pressing issues in within their jurisdiction such as Healthcare, which is a prominent issue especially during this period of time as covid-19 is the numbers are rising more resources and more time should be put into this as this is one of the main concerns of society when the government has more on their plate as what is being done when the kind of
 Kind of this act is enacted. They may have less resources which they could all locate towards other areas that may be more pressing or maybe more important at the time and one effect that legalizing cannabis could do which is positive is helping the economy and the government is able to tax on the sales and which will help us and make our economy stronger, which is really important.
 Because the jobs are generated in Canada and our livelihood is all dependent on once ability to secure a job and the economy and GDP of our country. So being able to tax people when they buy cannabis is really important the negative effect that could happen is that it creates this impression for the Youth that cannabis is is normalize and could be normalized. I
 Personally, I know some people who are against the legalization of cannabis due to the fact that they think they were not never really exposed to marijuana before or cannabis and they only know about the effects that it could have when people take it as a recreational means and I think what thing that's really important when we deal with the effects of like backlash or protest that can occur when these the Cannabis Act was enacted.
 Did is to educate people and let them know and listen to the people in society by listening. We build this trust between each other from the government and the citizens that they are working for because they are the people of the country the people that work for the government. So at the end of the day what really matters is understanding and creating this connection between the citizens and the government in order to establish good better understanding of why this act was enacted.
 I acted and why what concerns that could rise from the citizens in that Province or the federal agency? So at the end of the day, it's really important to let our citizens know why these acts are enacted and then when issues do arise we want to deal with it transparently and let everyone know you will always handle issues that come when
 Problems arise do you see any Acts or that were passed from the government? And we want to ensure the citizens that what we are doing is for their benefit and ultimately would benefit them and not create this impression that some people may have on cannabis and the legalization of cannabis that maybe more youths May potentially start using more cannabis due to this change of narrative that could happen due to the legalization of cannabis.
 Cannabis, so it's really important at the end of the day to educate everyone on the reasons. Why and I think ultimately it's really important to have that human connection because it is human nature to be a social creature. So it is important for us to allow others to understand understand why certain acts are put in place and explain to them why and how they are going to deal with any issues and the effects that they could have won.

Some dispensaries continue to sell cannabis products without a license. What are your thoughts on this?

Great job!

How was your experience?

So in this problem we're... (transcribed)

So in this problem, we're talking about the federal cannabis act, that was passed and how provincial and Municipal governments dealt with the processing of this act. So I think it's important to start out by recognizing that they federal government. I think is tried to handle this quite similarly, to handle the andal liquor laws. This is that's a provincial issue. How its licensed, how it's and how it's sold.
 So I think in that sense, this process really make sense that it's there's some type of overarching federal consensus. And then there's individual provincial at provincial regulations. Just because Canada is such a large and diverse population. It makes sense that much like Health Care. This is something that is dealt with on the provincial level.
 This prompts also asking if there's any concerns about how this was done and I do think there were several concerns that had to be taken into consideration. So we had to think about this from a patient safety or people, safety level. So, how are we going to ensure that the people know how to use this substance responsibly? And that's you know, a lot of its going from Public Health.
 And there I know that there are ads on TV about this. So that's one thing that had to be considered. And then we also have to think about in terms of health care how its distributed as a as a medication which has its own other set of ramifications. If we had to think about how the drug or how it was going to be sold and dispensed.
 you also have to think about how it's going to be produced, and you have to think about it from a saved, like a safety standpoint as well in terms of
 Driving with this substance and in terms of the legal ramifications, so to say, so proper way of ensuring that there was proper ways to test for levels of marijuana and drivers. That was something I know that was an issue. And we had to ensure that there was proper those proper precautions before, it could just be something that was mainstream.
 So I think there's several levels that had to be several concerns that had to be dealt with, you know, age ranges for how old you have to be to. You have to be to purchase, or use this type of substance. There's so many issues and I do, I don't think that we've ironed out all of those yet because it is still so new here in Canada and in Ontario. However, I do strongly agree that it should be something dealt with provincially. I don't
 I know about a lot about the response in other places in Canada, and I know a little bit about it in our tario, but I do believe that there's so many avenues that had to be considered and it's something that is just going to take more time to have a real clear, real clear guidelines on. But I think we're definitely getting there and I think it's important for there to be proper resources out there for ontarians to access so that they
 have all the correct answers and so that they're going about it and getting these things from regulated sources much like how liquor is is now done. So to summarize, I think that it's great that it's dealt with at a provincial level, and I think we still have a little bit, a ways to go before, it's whereas confident with it dealing with it as we are with something like liquor. So, thank you.

So yeah, the reality is... (transcribed)

So yeah, the reality is that the there are dispensaries that are still selling marijuana without a license and I do think that that is an issue and it's something that it's going to take time to be able to deal with ice because it's still so new. We are we just aren't able to regulate it as well yet and some of the issues I see with this are just our from a safety standpoint. If they don't have the proper licensing, how can we be sure that they are following other?
 Proper rules like ensuring that they're not selling to underage, mine or underage people and that they're selling a product that's actually regulated through the government. We don't know these things. So there's a lot of safety issues with this and I think that it's going to take a lot more time to to be dealt with and since there are so many places that sell it and it's not
 It's not something like it's not as well. Organized, like the sale of liquor. I think. I think that's where it could improve on. I think we could look at places like the LCBO that are regulated to sell liquor and perhaps we could implement the sale of marijuana in places like that. So that it's, we're removing this type of dispensary locations, and individually owned locations, so that it's more regulated.
 Ted by The Province, and it's more of a cohesive regulation.
 And I do think going forward that that could be one potential solution to try to limit the sale of marijuana without proper licensing, without proper licenses.
