"A group of cannabis retailers have filed suit against the BC government for what they say is a failure to enforce the province’s own regulations.
The notice of civil claim—filed the week of Monday, April 25, in the British Columbia Supreme Court—accuses the office of the Attorney General of BC along with the office of the BC Minister of Public Safety and the Community Safety Unit of failing to enforce provincial cannabis laws, especially on First Nations reserves as defined in the Indian Act.
The plaintiffs—14 retailers in BC—are seeking $40 million in damages and the enforcement of these provincial cannabis regulations.
“As a result of the defendants’ failure to enforce the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act, the plaintiffs have each suffered, and continue to suffer damages in the form of loss of income, and loss,” argues the lawsuit."
