Episode 29: Pot, cyber security and powers for Canada's upper chamber

from The West Block · host Global News / Curiouscast

This week we look at the government's proposed pot legislation that was nearly snuffed out this past week as a number of senators tried to kill the bill.  Will the government agree to any proposed changes on their cannabis bill and should Canadians expect legalization this summer?  Then we look at cyber security in light of privacy concerns with Facebook, should governments and citizens be worried?  And how independent are the Independent Senators in Canada's upper chamber? Guests: Mark Holland, Parliamentary Secretary to the Public Safety Minister; Steve Jones, Assistant Deputy Minister-Communication Security Establishment; Former Senator Hugh Segal.
