"Displacing Canada’s robust illegal cannabis market" (OTTAWA) – June 30, 2020 –
First, the working group has established the National License Holders Council to provide direct policy support for producers in the lead up to the three-year review of the Cannabis Act scheduled to begin in 2021. This will include advocating for improvements to federal policies and regulations in the areas such as marketing and branding, regulatory service standards, and import and export.
Second, the working group has formed the International Cannabis Council to support Canada’s leadership in the development of international cannabis trade, rules and regulations.
“In a short period of time, Canada’s regulated cannabis producers have created thousands of high quality jobs across the entire country. The launch of our National License Holders Council will assist these companies looking to support Canada’s economic recovery and create more jobs by further displacing Canada’s robust illegal cannabis market,” said Perrin Beatty, President and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
