In their own words

  • The Cannabis Council of Canada seeks to assist its members with International Trade issues, specifically, to help navigate unclear issues around exporting cannabis to various locations around the world. Israel recently issued a determination in an anti dumping case which lacked transparency, fairness and due process among other concerns. The Cannabis Council will work with government partners to defend the cannabis industry and it's world class reputation - as well as pursue all possible avenues to remedy the situation.
  • Excise Tax Framework on Cannabis products was fashioned on a premise of $ 1 in $ 10 as tax whereas in practical reality the tax is far more aggressive than planned, often coming in at or nearly 3 times higher at 30 %. This is severely compressing the financial viability of many licensed producers and processors, while keeping product prices high in comparison to competition in the legacy, illicit marketplace.
  • CRA Excise stamp logistics and placement on adult consumer use cannabis products and co packing supply chain realities that run up against the Excise Tax Act.
