Amendment No. 2 proposes to increase the number of drugs included in the Bill. The Bill is restrictive because it only includes heroin, cocaine and cannabis. There are many other drugs and the inclusion of other substances would strengthen the Bill. The Minister said on Committee Stage that he guaranteed the drugs raised in this and Deputy Troy's amendment would be considered for inclusion. He agreed to come back with a timeframe for the expansion of the drugs included in the legislation. Has the Minister given consideration to that? Will he give us a commitment that he will include some sort of timeframe for that?
