          <by role="member" id="4364">The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:17):</by>  Supplementary question: is there scope for the minister to consider, or has the minister already considered, whether people who use medical cannabis might still be able to maintain a driver's licence and have the right to drive a car, providing, of course, that the properties were such that it could be proven that they did not impact their driving skills?</text>

MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (15:17):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. That was outside the remit of what we met about, which was particularly about the economic development opportunities. Those areas are portfolios that I am not directly responsible for, but I would be quite certain that if someone is affected by a drug that is detectable by a drug driving regime there will be no exceptions to that, and if there are detectable levels of any drug, the full force of the law will be applied.</text>
