Canadians, the government is asking the public for feedback on the legalization of MJ. Make your opinions known!

Why

The Government of Canada has made a commitment to legalize, strictly regulate and restrict access to marijuana. To do this, a task force has been created to advise on the design of a new system. The Task Force is seeking the views of Canadians on issues that are key to the design of a new system. They will then provide the federal government with a final report.
Who

The Task Force is seeking input from:

Canadians
provincial, territorial and municipal governments
experts in relevant fields
Indigenous governments and representative organizations
youth

What

The Government of Canada has prepared a discussion paper to support this consultation, which:

outlines the objectives of the new system for restricted access to marijuana
identifies specific issues and options on which the government is seeking advice and input

How to participate

You can provide your input by completing the online consultation. The consultation is in the form of a discussion paper that's split into 5 sections covering different topics. Each of the 5 sections has a questionnaire at the end to record your input. You may:

fill out any or all of the questionnaires while the consultation is open, and/or
choose to attach a document (such as a proposal or scientific paper) to any of the questionnaires

Each topic is presented in a separate section so you can provide input to the topics that interest you. However, you will be asked to provide some of the same information (e.g., province in which you live) at the beginning of each section.

If you prefer, you can read the full discussion paper and provide input later.

You can also provide your input by sending us:

an email at the address listed in the contact information
a letter to the address listed in the contact information
