Yeah not even close to a date. We're talking probably years not months

irst and foremost, the concept affects three major international treaties that Canada is a part of: The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971 and the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988. All three treaties require the criminalization of possession and production of cannabis, and Canada would need to show that legalizing marijuana actually helps reduce illicit drug use.
And at the same time, a Liberal plan on policing, selling and distributing weed isn’t quite fully-baked.
Under the leadership of former Toronto police chief Bill Blair, a federal-provincial task force is still consulting experts and creating a legalization plan. There is no timeline in place for when the proposal will be delivered.
Part of the problem is that the feds will have to work closely with each province on sales and distribution methods. While some provinces like Ontario have advocated selling weed through government-run LCBO stores, such a plan wouldn’t work in Alberta and Quebec where the sale of alcohol are very different. And there are no indications how local dispensaries and medicinal grow-ops would be impacted.

I'm not saying it won/t happen, its just not a matter of enacting it into law in the short term.
