All eyes on marijuana legalization in 2018: Lethbridge MP Harder weighs on the process, and the future.
LETHBRIDGE- As members of parliament get ready to return to Ottawa for the beginning of the new year, one of the biggest issues that is sure to dominate the headlines is the legalization of marijuana.
Canada is on track to have recreational marijuana legalized by July 2018, which would make Canada only the second country in the world after Uruguay to do so.
The legislation put forward by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the federal government will regulate the production of cannabis, but the details like where it can be sold and who can buy it will be left mostly to the provinces.
Lethbridge MP Rachael Harder says one of the biggest objections the Conservatives have with the legislation is the imposed date for legalization.
