C-5.3 - Cannabis Regulation Act
Section 22
Disposition versions
Not in force
22. Only a cannabis producer who has the qualifications and meets the conditions determined by government regulation may produce cannabis in Québec. Cannabis production includes, but is not limited to, the cultivation, processing, packaging and labelling of cannabis for commercial purposes.
The Government may, by regulation, determine the standards applicable to cannabis production, which may in particular relate to the preparation, conditioning or preservation of cannabis, and the substances and methods used. It may also determine the provisions of such a regulation whose violation constitutes an offence and prescribe, for each offence, the fines to which an offender is liable, which may not exceed $100,000.
Anyone who contravenes the first paragraph commits an offence and is liable to a fine of $5,000 to $500,000.
The amounts of the fines set out in the second and third paragraphs are doubled for a subsequent offence.
