Bill C-45, the Cannabis Act, will be given the 3rd reading in the Senate on June 7, 2018. Four other Senate committees along with the Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology have completed the study of aspects of the bill and reported back to the Senate with amendmens. In view of the report, the Bill C-45 Focus Group has raised seven key questions to seek public opnions. The survey results will be submitted to all senators prior to the 3rd reading. Should the Senate consider the necessity of additional amendments at the reading, the bill may be referred back to the House of Commons for further debating. Thus the legalization of marijuana may not be finalized before July 2018.
The deadline to fill out the survey is set on June 4, 2018. The results will be presented to the Senate on June 5, 2018. This survey is to be conducted across the nation in the hope that more than ten thousand responses will be received. Your active participation will be greatly appreciated.

The Bill C-45 Focus Group has been voluntarily launched by city councilors, journalists, priests, industry professionals and other volunteers with the aim to influence the delay of legalization of the bill and the formulation of indisputable bill. The members once participated in the Senate hearing on the bill or initiated the lobbying in the parliament to postpone the legalization process with some success.
