cannabis

Health Canada invites Canadians to share their perspectives on the factors that may be considered for refusal or revocation of a registration on public health and public safety grounds. These factors are set out in the draft guidance on personal production of cannabis for medical purposes.

Until May 7, 2021, Health Canada will engage with various groups across Canada including:

  • All interested Canadians, including Indigenous Peoples
  • Patients and patient associations
  • Provincial, territorial, and local governments
  • Cannabis industry licence holders and associations
  • Law enforcement and first responders and associations
  • Health care practitioners and health care practitioner regulatory bodies and associations

Port Colborne residents interested in providing comments are welcome to do so. Residents can fill out an online form, or send Health Canada an email to cannabis.consultation@canada.ca with your ideas or comments to make yourself heard.

The draft document provides guidance on the personal and designated production of cannabis for medical purposes. It also provides proposed factors that may be considered in refusing or revoking a registration. The following questions will be asked:

  • Are the listed factors clear?
  • Are there any additional factors that should also be considered?
  • Do you have any comments on other elements of this document unrelated to the factors consideration?

The input collected will be considered before publishing the final guidance document. Health Canada will post the results of this consultation online in a “What We Heard” report.
