TORONTO -- The Ontario government is poised to introduce legislation today governing the licensing and regulation of the province's private cannabis retail marketplace.
The Progressive Conservative government says the bill will make the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario the regulator for the recreational marijuana marketplace.
It will have the power to grant--and potentially revoke--licenses as well as enforce provincial rules on cannabis sales.
The province said yesterday that anyone looking to open a marijuana shop will have to apply for both a retail-operator licence and a retail store authorization for each potential location.
