Cannabis in the Workplace
Hon. Mike Farnworth
The Government of Canada has committed to legalising recreational cannabis after July 1, 2018. Provincial governments, including British Columbia, are working to develop frameworks around distribution, retailing, public safety, the workplace and many other areas that will be affected by legalisation. What do employers need to be considering and how do they need to be preparing now for legal cannabis and the workplace after July 1?
