Cannabis Licensing
Regulatory Challenges:
Provincial governments electing not to have brick-and-mortar retail stores in favour of online sales in AB and ON
BC’s hybrid model includes public and private, but regulations favour public sector
Application process is stringent, despite similarities between liquor and cannabis license requirements
AB has 28 private retail stores proposed - suspended licensing due to supply shortage
BC has 289 applications submitted: 159 denied, 127 referred to local gov’t, 2 approved conditionally, and 1 licensed
