Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you colleagues. A separate news story from Global News reported an increase in the economy for the town of Smith Falls, Ontario. This increase is thanks to Tweed Incorporated, a medical cannabis producer that started production in an out-of-commission Hershey chocolate factory. So far this company has employed 300 individuals and had posted for 70 more jobs.

Mr. Speaker, these new stories highlight how the legislation of recreational cannabis will create new industry, meaning new jobs and economy growth. It is also highlights that we do not need to import this product and that it should be grown locally and distributed. Reports suggest that by the time cannabis is legal it will take growers two to three years before being able to supply the demands. I'll have questions for the Minister later on. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
