IF I WERE CANADA'S PRIME MINISTER

Here's highlights, key quotes from the Liberal leadership hopefuls' fourth
debate:

On marijuana laws:

SHEILA COPPS

"I support the legislation and I also believe that the individual's
decision to grow small amounts of marijuana should also be decriminalized."

JOHN MANLEY

"We should look at this legislation as one that adjusts penalties for
drugs...We have to be tough on the criminals who are turning an illegal
substance into an industry."

PAUL MARTIN

"You should not have a criminal record for the rest of your life if you are
caught with a very small amount. We also have to make it clear that the use
of marijuana is a significant health risk. We've got to crack down much
more harder than we have on drug trafficking and grow-ops."
