The Government of Canada remains committed to keeping marijuana out of the hands of children, and the profits out of the pockets of organized crime. As part of the Canadian Drugs and Substances Strategy, Health Canada will support marijuana public education programming and surveillance activities in advance of the Government’s plan to legalize cannabis by directing existing funding of $9.6 million over five years, with $1.0 million per year ongoing.
As the Government moves forward with a new taxation regime on cannabis, it will take steps to ensure that taxation levels remain effective over time.

"The budget allocates $9.6 million in existing money for marijuana "education programming and surveillance activities" ahead of the federal Liberal plan to legalize cannabis, which is expected later this spring. It also says it's going to tax marijuana and tie those taxes to inflation to ensure they keep rising. The government is already looking at potential ways to test motorists whom police suspect of being impaired by marijuana."
