Canadians with past pot convictions won’t have to pay or wait to apply for a pardon

There will be no fee and no waiting period for Canadians who want to apply for a pardon of their past pot possession convictions.

In a press conference held Wednesday morning, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale confirmed that the Liberal government will introduce legislation to allow people who have served their sentences for pot possession to apply for a pardon without having to wait a specified period or pay a fee.
