It allows criminals to profit and has not managed to keep cannabis out of the hands of our children. However, our government is legalizing, regulating, and strictly controlling access to cannabis, and we are pleased that Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8886269\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-45/\" title=\"An Act respecting cannabis and to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Criminal Code and other Acts\">C-41</a> was passed by the Senate.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5473830\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We thank senators for their work. Our government will carefully examine the amendments they made.</p>",

Elle a permis aux criminels d'en tirer des profits et n'a pas r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 garder le cannabis hors des mains de nos enfants. Cependant, notre gouvernement l\u00e9galise, r\u00e9glemente et encadre de fa\u00e7on stricte l'acc\u00e8s au cannabis, et nous sommes heureux que le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8886269\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-45/\" title=\"An Act respecting cannabis and to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Criminal Code and other Acts\">C-45</a> ait \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9 par le S\u00e9nat. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5473830\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous remercions le S\u00e9nat de son travail.
