How Canada's new crime bill will wipe out drug possession charges
from This Matters · host Toronto Star
Guest: Jacques Gallant, politics reporter As Bill C-5 moves through the legislative process, Canadians who have been convicted of simple possession of drugs could see their records disappear in the next few years. Although it won't be an amnesty, the government is using a system called sequestration that would effectively hide the records. It's another sign of the changing way authorities are dealing with illegal drugs and how people are punished for having them. This episode was produced by Sean Pattendon and Raju Mudhar.
