So this question is asking if there are concerns with how the Cannabis apt was handled in terms of the provincial government passing legislation and letting sorry that not the federal government passing legislation letting the provincial government deal how they want to enact it. I think with all with all new laws and acts there there's always issues with how they're handled a few of the issues that I can think of for. The Cannabis act specifically are
 universality
 And revenue, so what I mean by that in terms of universality is the way you're able to access and use cannabis in one province is very different from another Province. For example in Nova Scotia. You can access cannabis only from NSL see which is a provincial which is the liquor company the provincial liquor company.
 And you're only allowed to smoke it in designated areas. Where as in other provinces. You potentially may be allowed to purchase cannabis from any dispensary and use it anywhere you like.
 But the overarching loss for it in terms of how much you can own it time and in terms of driving and impairment I think are the same federally so in terms of safety and how it's used. I think for the most part that's okay.
 So would like if Universe soggy, you can find people who travel a lot from Province to Province and more regular users of cannabis getting into trouble due to lack of awareness. I don't know how likely that is, but but potentially
 It could be confusing for people going from place to place. Like if somebody's from Ontario and travels Nova Scotia lot for work. And are you still smoking a joint after work in the streets and they get caught for doing that here?
They could be ticketed quite a hefty amount due to not knowing the law. So that presents issues. The other thing that kind of presents issues is where the revenue from Cannabis goes. This comes to mind specifically because Nova Scotia, I'm wondering if the revenue goes to the province or some of the revenue goes to the province because it's sold in SLC or if it's only the tat what it's taxed on that goes to the province and how that differs between other provinces. And the reason that I wonder about this is because
 So I'm curious if the revenue would all goes to any Healthcare funding.
Or funding of the city in general because could have benefits in that sense.
But no, I mean there are also I think that are Pros to letting each province deal with it the way they want to deal with it because they can tailor it to their population and the size of their population specifically in terms of how they want to promote the safety of how to use cannabis and what's legal and what's not legal.
 Different populations respond in different manners like for example in Nova Scotia. We have a larger older population.
Larger and larger senior population. So in that sense, you could tailor your educational material towards them and your laws your federal or provincial lost towards those people specifically, whereas and Ontario you might have a younger population. You can also tailor the resources and the provincial laws towards that as well. I don't think it's uncommon for
For there to be Federal Acts that are enforced provincially. I think it's so my background is from Pharmacy. I just graduated from Pharmacy and I think it's very similar in the sense of you know, there are like acts that regulate control of information like privacy of information like the pipeda act for example, but then there are standards of practice that are provincial being forced to Nova Scotia that might be different from Ontario.
 So I think there are benefits in terms of giving the province's freedom to I think that that suit their population best, but there's also a lack of universality and a lack of
Standard regulation which B could be confusing for people and for regulators?
I just thought now like collecting statistics and and seeing what the lasting impacts of legalizing cannabis are.
