  • 2018 05 31 Cannabis Bill Debates
    KEVIN O’REILLY—MLA FRAME LAKE Bill 6, Cannabis Legalization and Regulation Implementation Act Committee of the Whole May 31, 2018 (selected excerpts) HON. LOUIS SEBERT: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am pleased to be here today to talk to you about Bill 6, Cannabis Legalization and Regulation Implementation Act. I would like to thank the Standing Committee on Social Development and the Standing Committee on Government Operations for their review of this bill and for the constructive feedback they have provided. A number of motions were made in committee, and I am pleased that the bill has improved as a result. The development of Bill 6 required significant interdepartmental collaboration and has benefited from feedback from the public, Indigenous governments, community governments, and other stakeholders, received during an extensive engagement process that occurred during the summer and fall of 2017. Since that time, the joint standing committee has conducted further engagement with residents, and we look forward to hearing about that today. We recognize that not everyone agrees with all aspects of the legislation being proposed, but, as a government, we have an obligation to make the best decisions we can to design a system that puts the health and safety of our residents first and that follows the guiding principles that received overwhelming support during the engagement. In addition to the feedback received from our cannabis engagement process, other important factors that were considered when determining our approach included: discussion and information from other jurisdictions; discussion with enforcement partners; practical and financial implications for implementation in the required timeframe; and current research on the health impacts of cannabis.

Given out the first week of April, this is the organ- ization's second distribution of kits to youth aged 14 to 29. The first distribution was July 25, 2020, said Arctic Youth Development Agency co-founder Amie Charlie. Each kit contains a reusable shopping bag, snacks, a candle from Sequoia Soaps, wool socks from Ecolo- gyst, a mug and peppermint tea. They also contain an art print by Morgan Harper Nichols, stickers and the AYDA spring newsletter. Finally, each package comes with a copy of Embers by Richard Wagamese, a book of meditations, prayers and affirmations. "Each item was chosen with intention," said Char- lie. "Embers, by Richard Wagamese is a beautifully written book full of powerful, yet at times simple, meditations and prayers. "Feel free to start from the beginning or in the middle, it really doesn't matter. Pick it up whenever you need to feel a bit more grounded." Made in Canada Charlie said about 70 youth in Inuvik, Aklavik, Tsiigehtchic and Fort McPherson signed up for the kits, which focused on home-grown products. "We wanted to shop for products that were Indigen- ous or Canadian made," said Charlie. "That is why you'll see the candle from Sequoia, and the warm wool socks from Ecologyst included in your kit.
