 Hi, I'm Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. Federal legalization of non-medical cannabis is coming next year. In preparation, the province and other levels of governments are working on how they'll regulate the product once the Government of Canada makes it legal. We're focusing on protecting young people, making health and safety a priority, keeping criminals out of cannabis production, and keeping our roads safe. But we don't have a lot of precedence to base our approach on. Canada is only the second nation to legalize cannabis in this way. That's where you come in. On this website, you'll find information about the national changes ahead, and a way to provide feedback as we develop BC's provincial and local frameworks. For example, how old should you be to use cannabis? Where should people be able to buy it? How do we prevent drug-affected driving? These are just a few of the questions I hope you'll consider as you share your thoughts. And please keep in mind, the public engagement process ends November 1st. And thank you for helping us to maximize public safety and health as Canada legalizes cannabis.
