MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING PARTNER OF AIRD & BERLIS LLP
It is difficult to imagine that six months have elapsed since
our firm published its last edition of Doing Business in Canada. In
this period, there have been many changes, domestically and
internationally, which have had a material effect on participants
in the Canadian business community.
An area which has been the subject of many new regulatory and
legal changes is the legalization of the recreational use of
cannabis, which is scheduled to commence in Q3 2018. Some time ago,
Aird & Berlis formed an inter-disciplinary team to highlight
our leading-edge knowledge of the cannabis industry, both legally
and from a market perspective, and we are a recognized leader in
this fast-developing area. Our firm produces various publications
which consider the differences in the anticipated federal
regulatory regime and in the various provinces, as well as
regarding the integration of Canadian rules and expectations
