Bill 47, passed on November 21, 2018 and enforced as of January 1, 2019 amends legislation enacted by the former provincial government's Bill 148. Review the Employment Standards Act to be up to date. 

Ontario’s new rules will keep the people of Ontario safe now that recreational cannabis has been made legal by the federal government.

Recreational cannabis was legalized on October 17, 2018 by the Federal Government. Ontario’s Government for the People has put rules in place to keep cannabis out of the hands of children and youth, keep our roads safe and combat the illegal market.

Ontario now has laws in place (after extensive public and stakeholder engagement) about how, where and who can buy and possess cannabis in the province. The government is also moving forward with a tightly regulated private retail model for cannabis that would launch by April 1, 2019.

Medical cannabis will continue to be subject to different rules than recreational cannabis.
