Explanatory Note This note was written as a reader's aid to the Bill and is not part of the law. To operate a cannabis store in Manitoba, a person must enter into an agreement with the Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation or the minister specified in the Act.

The fee is 6% of the operator's annual cannabis sales revenue or the amount set by regulation. |
