The Liberals keep saying that they will deal with it. It is tomorrow. Where is the plan? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5582710\" data-originallang=\"en\">In the meantime, Canadians continue to have difficulties with employment, rentals and travelling. These barriers are felt even more by marginalized communities, including indigenous people, for something that is perfectly legal tomorrow. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5582711\" data-originallang=\"en\">Time is up. We need the Liberals to act now. What is their plan to expunge the records for simple possession?</p>",
