	Canadian Senate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Senate of Canada (French: Le Sénat du Canada) is a component of the Parliament of Canada, along with the Sovereign (represented by the Governor General) and the House of Commons.
		The Senate is referred to as the "upper house" of Parliament, and the House of Commons is referred to as the "lower house".

		Senate seats are divided among the provinces in such a way that Ontario, Quebec, the Maritime provinces, and the Western provinces are equally represented.
		The Senate came into existence in 1867, when the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed the British North America Act, uniting the Province of Canada (which was separated into Canada East and Canada West, corresponding, respectively, to modern Quebec and Ontario), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into a single federation, called the Dominion of Canada.

		The Canadian Senate's Special Committee on Illegal Drugs, which has spent the last two years doing a comprehensive review of Canada's drug laws, called Wednesday for an end to cannabis prohibition and its replacement with a legal, regulated marijuana market.
		The Canadian government should introduce cannabis regulation legislation "stipulating conditions for obtaining licences, producing and selling cannabis; criminal penalties for illegal trafficking and export; and the preservation of criminal penalties for all activities falling outside the scope of the exemption scheme," the committee recommended.
		The committee also called for amnesty for all Canadians convicted of cannabis possession and recommended that Canada inform the United Nations it intends to seek to amend the U.N. Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and related treaties, the legal backbone of the global prohibition regime.

		"Canadians from every walk of life told us loud and clear that we should not be imposing criminal records on users or unduly prohibiting personal use of cannabis," the Senate report said.
		As a result, Canadian taxpayers will continue to shell out the estimated $700 million to $1 billion in policing and court costs to investigate, arrest and prosecute people who choose to utilize a substance that is far less dangerous than either alcohol or tobacco, both of which are fully legal.
