OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau left the door open Wednesday to a possible delay in enacting his government's cannabis legalization bill -- a move recommended by a Senate committee concerned with Indigenous issues.
In a report issued Tuesday, the Senate aboriginal peoples committee called on the government to put off legalizing marijuana for up to a year so broader consultations on the matter could take place with Indigenous communities.
The report said the government's "atrocious" lack of proper consultation on its cannabis bill undermines its claims to be trying to have a new and better relationship with Indigenous peoples.

SAJLMFAO  The Senate committee reports to the Senate where they then vote on all amendments. So the story is moronic insofar as Trudeau does not have any power over how the Senate votes on recommendations from its committees.
It's really the Conservatives who don't want this bill pass for another year so they can use it for fearmongering in the next election. If it passes now people will know cannabis legalization was a good thing by the next election. Its just like how the Conservatives fear mongered about the fifty thousand Syrian refugees being terrorist in the last election, turns out they are great citizens. Another example of Conservative fearmongering was their campaign against gay marriage and how that would destroy Canadian values.

Just six weeks until its the new norm.

Trudeau says pot will be legal this summer, despite calls for delay


OTTAWA - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau isn't backing down from his government's much-maligned timeline for legalizing marijuana, despite a growing chorus of calls from senators, Indigenous leaders and others to delay the plan for up to a year.
Trudeau says the plan to make recreational pot legal by this summer will go ahead without delay.

Growing calls from Conservative senators as well as Conservatives Indigenous leaders and I guess the others are the rest of the Conservatives who were hoping to make this an election issue or kill it completely.

Just six weeks till the new norm.
