Alberta suspends cannabis retail license applications due to supply shortage
EDMONTON – Alberta says it won’t be issuing any new retail cannabis licences until further notice due to a national supply shortage.
The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis commission says it ordered enough supply to stock 250 retail stores for the first six months of legalization.
President Alain Maisonneuve says only about 20 per cent of that order has come in.
He says some licensed producers have not fulfilled their commitments and most cannabis products are running out.
