3:10 re: "$150B debt from the last government." According to finance canada and government sources, the current debt is $1.1T. In 2015, the Liberals inherited a national debt of $612B. in 2017 it was at $631B. Seems like a huge gap (612B to 631 to 1100B) on behalf of the current government to have spent that much. The claim that $150B in new debt is not much of a comeback on the part of Morneau if that's what he's trying to use that figure as. He can't create an increase of 490B in debt (~80% increase from what he inherited) and then complain that the other guys created $150B in new debt in an attempt to try to convince us that the old government were the bad guys.

I thought all three parties agreed with Trudeau about the tariffs issue.

Nationalize all industries and aligned services impacted by tariffs. Support business and workers!

my questions are: Are the Policemen also allowed to take the Marijuana or Cannabis? If yes, who will protect now the citizens? I think this government is only looking to the profit but not to the safety of all citizens who do not like any drugs specially the youth and the small children if their parents will take that marijuana. This is only my own observation and opinion. If the sickness people need this marijuana let the doctors handle this but not everybody.

Right now, I am already afraid to live in this country because seems not safe anymore.

39:55 I don't know what she's talking about. We keep our beer in the fridge and our hard liquors on top of it. Why does the Liberal government care where we keep our legal products in our home?

I hope this current government not to be more reluctant to the refugees. Why also this government feed abundantly the refugees while the people who are not refugees are starving.

[ginosanti]

Yelling over top of another member while they have the floor. They should be and are embarrassing themselves as well as the people that elected them! Have some self respect and control. Don't SINK to the drama games!!

Why is Cannabis still in the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act while alcohol and nicotine are not? Is it safe or not? If it isn't then why is it planned to be sold to 18 year olds with no prescription? If it is safe then why is it in a federal drug control act? Are there non-prescription drugs in there? Show me where the recreational ones are. The federal govt has a right to excise tax on Cannabis and nothing else, just like alcohol and tobacco. They'll take as much control as naive Canadians allow them to.
