Drug testing proposal on the government radar.

[A key body tasked with helping the federal government decide whether and how to impose marijuana testing for workers finds itself at an impasse, ensuring no new federal rules on workplace impairment will be in place before pot becomes legal later this year.

The committee, comprising federally regulated employers, labour groups and federal officials, finds itself split over the issue of drug testing for jobs where impairment could pose a threat to public safety.]

Someone needs to send them a memo stating that there are many other intoxicants that are easily available. Somewhere our fine government seems to have forgotten this.

Salutations,

M'yeah... Like BANNED pesticides as myclobutanil which was evaluated by Hydropothecary until its non-detection level was found (and mediatically broadcasted...), with health-Canada remaining contemplative.

Or soon even GMO stuff for that matter, still made possible as a contribution of Hydropothecary, so that history records "it was Québec" which vilified the earliest (1890) and best, after all:

[ globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/03/16/1441421/0/en/Hydropothecary-partners-with-Segra-to-scale-up-production-in-preparation-for-cannabis-legalization.html ]
GNW: Hydropothecary partners with Segra to scale-up production in preparation for cannabis legalization (2018-Mar-16)

« Segra’s expertise and unique tissue culture technique will allow Hydropothecary to increase its yield of healthy, top-quality plants to serve the growing medical and recreational cannabis markets. ... This process replaces traditional cloning from mother plants with rapid, sterile production of robust and healthy plantlets. It generates exact copies of the original plant without the risk of pathogens, fungi, and other issues that can plague other industrial-scale production processes. ... Segra is a plant biotechnology company that specializes in industrial-scale cannabis plant micropropagation. The company is developing industrial-scale cannabis micropropagation laboratories to produce healthy, robust plantlets for licensed cannabis producers globally. »

Unfortunately "Divide to Conquer" doesn't seem an obvious strategy enough to all those TrudeauManiacs who went blind to evidence, i'm afraid.

Good day, have fun!!

I tend to ignore what the media is saying, too much spin usually.

I've been follow the Senate debates, (very loosely using this term, debate lol right)With the amount of time they have spent on mostly outliers like possession for kids and this workplace BS. They have a real uphill battle on their hands for testing. A lot of unions won't stand for it.

Also another sticking point seems to be "where" people are supposed to use this substance with the majority of the population in rentals in highly populated areas. bloody lobbying trying to tell people they can't smoke a legal substance in a place they have rented for years without signing a new lease. at the same time for instance ontario is banning public smoking.. (fuck you wynne, I have my right to walk down the street with a joint in my mouth, your bullshit is going to cause me harassment and hardship)

way to cause more bullshit for police forces and impinge on liberties.

The more the Senate talks about it the more it looks like at very least there will be a rewrite. They are still stuck in the second reading, the reading hasn't been complete and debate finished.

In this stage the senate is looking at cause and purpose and efficacy of the bill and its coming apart at the seems.

Government's cannabis bill faces live-or-die vote in Senate today.

The government's cannabis bill faces outright defeat in the Senate today if it can't secure enough support from members of the Red Chamber.

According to an agreed timetable, senators will hold a vote at second reading of the bill today. If the opposition Tories cobble together enough votes to defeat C-45, the legislation would be effectively dead — meaning the government would have to restart the entire legislative process in the House.

If that happens, a summer timeline for legalization becomes much less likely.

Most Independent and Liberal senators generally support the bill, and together they hold 54 of the chamber's 93 occupied seats. But that doesn't guarantee that all of those members will vote together as a block or be present when the vote is recorded.

do not forget this is upper house.. not lower house.. voting is not tied to party lines i've been seeing unless i'm mistaking varying degrees of support from both sides.

of the 30+ people debating this, much of them say they support this in principal, however the tone of the debates has been. Slow down, why is this here, what is the BIG BIG BIG picture.

interesting to say the least. However, it seems out of context. i'ma take a better look at the minutes. I do recall a mention for committee in May.

The public senatorial negators are in the extreme minority if they even bother to show up.. this Batters lady has such a slim thing to stand on.. its literally an amendment to the bill that fixes her issues. kids and pot that is all she has, there has already be president set in the supreme court this stuff can be grown safely.. bet that info isn't in the pamphlet the government made up either.

I think the whole house should sit down, put on some tunes, and smoke a joint. That tuned my mom, and about 20 aunts and uncles around. In one night.

"It's better than booze, and a lot more fun." was her exact statement the next day.

After that, she'd water my brother's plants for him instead of throwing them out. And they moved from the closet to the sunroom.
