Premier wants to see more co-operation from federal government on legalization plans. Premier Brian Pallister says the federal government has to be careful with the health and safety of Canadians when it comes to legalizing pot, and he wants Ottawa to slow down.
Pallister describes legalization as one of the most complicated policy issues facing governments, listing a series of concerns he has about the coming changes.
“This is a challenge every province is going to face,” Pallister said. He cited rules around access, quality oversight and distribution, age of access and driving under the influence of marijuana as some of the challenges facing legislators.
Pallister said everything from regulations on edible marijuana products to streamlining rules between jurisdictions is on the table.
