In an interview with QMI Agency Tuesday,MacKay suggested that fining smokers forpossessing small amounts of marijuana is an ideaworth considering.

"That doesn’t mean decriminalizing or legalizing,but it does mean giving police options, forexample, to issue fines in addition to any othersanctions, or as a substitute for othersanctions," he said. "These are things that weare willing to look at in the new year, but there'sbeen no decision taken."
