Federal health minister Jane Philpott says the Trudeau government is about to announce a new task force that will advise the government on its plan to legalize marijuana.
Philpott, in the province to speak at the Canadian Nurses Association conference in Saint John, said marijuana is a “complex file” and the task force will have representatives from her department as well as from the Justice and Public Safety departments.
“The task force will have … experts in the field who will advise us,” she said.
The challenge is to keep marijuana out of the hands of kids, Philpott said, and keep the profits out of the pockets of criminals.
