Input: The Liberal government plans to announce legislation next month that will legalize recreational marijuana use nationally by Canada Day 2018, CBC News reported Sunday night. The report, aired first on CBC’s flagship TV show, The National, said the government plans to introduce the legislation the week of April 10.

 Another report, however, indicated the bill would be introduced on April 20, or 4/20, a symbolic date for marijuana users. According to the CBC report, Ottawa will secure the country’s marijuana supply and license producers. The national age limit to purchase the drug will be set at 18, but provinces will be able to set it higher. Provinces will also control price, along with how marijuana is bought and sold.

 Also, Canadians who wish to grow their own marijuana would be limited to four plants per household. The new rules generally follow the recommendations of a federal task force chaired by Anne McLellan, a former justice minister. The task force delivered a 106-page report in December with 80 recommendations. Bill Blair, the former Toronto police chief who, as a Liberal MP, was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s point person on the issue, briefed the Liberal caucus on the roll-out plan and planned legislation during meetings this weekend, CBC said.

 Marijuana legalization was a high-profile campaign promise for Trudeau. Announcing the legislation in April would fulfill the promise the Liberal government made on April 20, 2016, to do so this spring. Before the CBC’s report Sunday night, NDP leadership candidates debating in Montreal believed the Liberal plan to move ahead on marijuana legalization was up in smoke and tried to position themselves as the pro-pot party. 
  
 B.C. MP Peter Julian, one of four contenders in the race to replace Thomas Mulcair as NDP leader, said the federal government had failed to keep its 2015 campaign pledge to legalize and regulate pot for recreational purposes. “I believe in legalization,” Julian said during the NDP’s second leadership debate.

 Many young people opted to support the Liberals in the last election due to this promise, Manitoba MP Niki Ashton said. The Liberals ran a cynical campaign in 2015, added Ontario MP Charlie Angus, suggesting the Liberals ticked all the right boxes, including on pot, with no intention of pursuing them. Speaking with the Star’s editorial board in December, Trudeau stressed that marijuana remains illegal until legislation passes. The prime minister also condemned the rise of illegal storefront dispensaries, some of which have popped up in Toronto. “People are right now breaking the law,” Trudeau said. “We haven’t changed the laws. We haven’t legalized it yet. Yes, we got a clear mandate to do that. We’ve said we will. We’ve said we’re going to do it to protect our kids and to keep the money out of the pockets of criminals.” With files from The Canadian Press

 “We haven’t changed the laws. We haven’t legalized it yet. Yes, we got a clear mandate to do that. We’ve said we will. We’ve said we’re going to do it to protect our kids and to keep the money out of the pockets of criminals.” But the spread of storefront “dispensaries” — scores of which have popped up on Toronto streets this year — is clearly a concern to the prime minister. “It’s a situation that is frustrating and I can understand people’s frustration on this,” Trudeau said.

 “The promise we made around legalizing marijuana was done for two reasons … that I was very, very clear about: one, to better protect our kids from the easy access they have right now to marijuana; and, two, to remove the criminal elements that were profiting from marijuana,” he said. “We believe that a properly regulated, controlled system will achieve both of those measures. But we haven’t brought in that properly regulated, controlled system because it’s important that we do it right in order to achieve those two specific goals.” That new regime will be unveiled next spring. The blueprint for the legislation is a report by former deputy prime minister Anne McLellan’s task force of medical and legal experts, which be released within days. Until the new law is enacted some time in 2017, Trudeau stressed “the current prohibition stands.” “So, I don’t know how much clearer we can be that we’re not legalizing marijuana to please recreational users,” he said. 
  
 “I mean, that will be a byproduct. We recognize that that is something that’s going to happen when it happens, but it’s not happened yet.” While Trudeau said he had not yet pored over the McLellan panel’s report, he has clearly been thinking about the age limits for recreational marijuana use.

 “It’s been highlighted many times that the effect of cannabis on the developing brain is particularly problematic,” the prime minister said. “I’m not going to venture too much further into the science but I think there is a consensus that, yes, perhaps up until 21 or 25 it’s not as good as past that age. But I have a sense that the worst damage is in the 12-, 13-, 14-year-old range,” he said. Trudeau emphasized Ottawa would “work hand in glove with the provinces,” which suggests there could be different age limits across the country. “The federal drinking limit is set at 18 but if provinces want to make it 19 — as a few have — it can be 19.” Currently, marijuana is legal for medicinal purposes with a prescription from a medical doctor. It can only be supplied by the 36 Health Canada-licensed producers and delivered by registered mail or homegrown in small amounts. Storefront dispensaries that claim to be supplying medicinal marijuana are not federally licensed and are breaking the existing law. Asked what municipalities could do to deal with the scourge of such pot shops, Trudeau did not mince words: “You can enforce the law.” Police, however, have been trying to do that in places like Toronto and Ottawa, with raids of dispensaries, but with middling effect. Because the federal law will eventually be amended, some entrepreneurs appear willing to risk fines as a cost of doing business before outright legalization.

 Canada’s current system of marijuana prohibition does not work. It does not prevent young people from using marijuana and too many Canadians end up with criminal records for possessing small amounts of the drug. 
  
 Arresting and prosecuting these offenses is expensive for our criminal justice system. It traps too many Canadians in the criminal justice system for minor, non-violent offenses. At the same time, the proceeds from the illegal drug trade support organized crime and greater threats to public safety, like human trafficking and hard drugs. 
  
 To ensure that we keep marijuana out of the hands of children, and the profits out of the hands of criminals, we will legalize, regulate, and restrict access to marijuana. 
  
 We will remove marijuana consumption and incidental possession from the Criminal Code, and create new, stronger laws to punish more severely those who provide it to minors, those who operate a motor vehicle while under its influence, and those who sell it outside of the new regulatory framework. 
  
 We will create a federal/provincial/territorial task force, and with input from experts in public health, substance abuse, and law enforcement, will design a new system of strict marijuana sales and distribution, with appropriate federal and provincial excise taxes applied. ||||| The federal government has been scrambling to draft legislation to legalize the recreational use of marijuana, hoping to have a bill in place ahead of the symbolic date of April 20, sources said. 
  
 A senior federal official said preparing the legislation has exposed a number of divisions on key issues between the Health, Justice and Public Safety departments, requiring federal lawyers to work overtime to find the appropriate legal language to express the government’s final intentions. 
  
 The government is hoping to legalize pot by July 1, 2018, CBC News reported Sunday night. 
  
 The governing Liberals used last year’s 4/20 celebrations – festivals held annually across the country in which marijuana enthusiasts publicly light up – to announce that they would table their legislation this spring. The government is now hoping to table the long-awaited bill in less than a month, ahead of that same date this year, sources said.

 This would entail introducing the legislation in the week of April 10, as the House will be on break during the actual celebrations of April 20 the following week. 
  
 Another senior official said there are still “lots of moving parts” as the government tackles complex issues such as whether to allow home production of small amounts of marijuana and the best way to crack down on drug-impaired drivers. 
  
 “The government has to decide how it will handle all sorts of things,” the federal official said. “It’s big and complicated.” 
  
 A third federal official cautioned that the legal drafting and cabinet-approval process could drag into early May. Still, the official said the government wants to unveil the legislation as soon as possible to ensure that the House of Commons has time to study the bill before the summer break. 
  
 Liberal MP Bill Blair, who is parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Justice and Ottawa’s point man on the legalization file, has said that the production and sale of marijuana will be tightly regulated. 
  
 The legislation will be inspired by a task force that was led by former Liberal minister Anne McLellan, which proposed a complete legalization model in a well-received report last year. 
  
 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has already endorsed one of its key recommendations, namely that marijuana should be legal for 18- or 19-year-olds, depending on each province’s legal drinking age. 
  
 The task force also urged the government to allow Canadians to buy or carry 30 grams of marijuana for personal use, and to grow up to four plants at home. The task force also recommended a system that would feature storefront sales and mail-order distribution, and allow a wide range of producers to operate legally, including “craft” growers and the current producers of medical marijuana. 
  
 Mr. Trudeau said last year that the Liberal government was in overall agreement with the task force’s 80 recommendations. 
  
 Even if the legislation was tabled in the coming weeks, it remains unknown when marijuana will actually be legal for recreational users. A senior federal official said last year that the time frame will depend on the “readiness of the provinces,” which will regulate wholesale distribution and retailing. The official said aiming for 2018 would be ambitious, with 2019 being more likely.

Output:
Since he started campaigning for his job, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has promised that marijuana legalization was high on his to-do list. Now his Liberal government is apparently about to make good on that vow: Per the CBC, pot will be legalized throughout the entire country by July 1, 2018, with legislation on the issue to be unveiled on April 10. (The Toronto Star cites another report that says the pot holiday 4/20 may be the target date, though the Globe and Mail notes the House of Commons will be on break during 4/20 week.) While quality control over the cannabis will fall to the federal government for safety reasons, and licensing will come out of Ottawa, each Canadian province will wield control over cost, distribution, and where pot can be sold. The nationwide age to legally buy marijuana will be set at 18, though provinces will be able to up that minimum. The legislation follows recommendations in a 106-page report by a federal task force. This may slow the roll of Trudeau's political opponents—specifically the New Democrats—who've recently tried to nail the prime minister for breaking his campaign promise, which some have insinuated was made just to get votes. This premise has been helped along by the fact that Trudeau has remained firm on "[enforcing] the law" as it stands now, including hitting illegal pot dispensaries with criminal charges, the Star has reported. Although the latest news may boost Trudeau's credibility, a senior federal official tells the Globe that crafting the legislation is "big and complicated," with "lots of moving parts," and there have been rumblings that pot that's legal for recreational users may not happen until 2019 due to the complexities.
