LIBERALS TO DEBATE MOTION TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

Ottawa -- The federal Liberals will debate a motion to legalize marijuana
at its policy convention next week, along with proposals to create national
standards in education and to retain the traditional definition of marriage.

The proposals to be debated at policy workshops are heavy with
environmental measures, a copy of the resolutions show.

But those resolutions are less likely to become party policy than the still
unreleased, high-priority list of motions that automatically goes to debate
by the full convention.
