What has shoppers/loblaws done towards becoming an LP?To become a cultivator, let alone a seller, of cannabis you need to jump over many hurdles set out by Health Canada? What exactly has shoppers/loblaws done to achieve their goal? I have yet to hear word one on their progress to becoming an LP.
The process is long and can takes 18 - 24 months to complete all requirements before a license to sell is granted and they have not even begun the process. There are hundreds of companies trying to get through the ACMPR process, and Shoppers/loblaws is but one of them. A final license to sell is years away.
