You want it when? The Senate tends to move with the urgency of Flash the Sloth in Disney’s Zootopia.

The upshot is that there are growing concerns in government about the Red Chamber meeting Justin Trudeau’s summer deadline on legalizing marijuana, as well as passing the accompanying impaired driving bill.

At least the main cannabis bill — C-45 — goes to a vote in the Senate on June 7. That would give the House two weeks before the summer break to deal with any amendments.

But the drug impaired driving bill — C-46 — is still before the Senate’s legal affairs committee, which is drawing up a draft report.

The upshot – even if the pot bill receives Royal Assent before Canada Day, the impaired driving bill may not pass until later in the year.

Bill Blair, the government’s point man on the pot bill could barely contain his frustration in an interview. “It’s our desire that the Senate deal with this (C-46) in an expeditious fashion. The day it is enacted, it will begin saving lives. My desire was to see C-46 pass six months ago. But I don’t see a delay in C-46 being an impediment to the passage and Royal Assent of C-45,” he said.
