BC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: SUPPORT CRAFT

BC’s Chamber of Commerce presented a series of suggestions to foster craft and micro growing in the province. They called on BC to:

  • Leave grey-market businesses alone to transition into the legal market,
  • Prioritize provincial-wholesale purchasing from BC LPs,
  • Allow farm-gate sales,
  • Aid micro-class licensees in getting “enhanced” access to the REC market, and
  • Establish private wholesale so private REC retailers can buy direct from craft producers.
