What they're lobbying on (3)Hide details
- Lobbying to build upon the federal Finance Committee's (FINA) recommendation to reform the Excise Act, 2001 by transitioning from a weight-based excise duty model to a value-based framework for cannabis products. This reform aims to align taxation with the market value of products, promoting fairness and sustainability within the industry.
- Lobbying for the introduction of a tax credit for outdoor cannabis cultivators under the Excise Duties on Cannabis Regulations (SOR/2019-78). Recognizing the environmental benefits of outdoor cultivation, such as reduced energy consumption and a smaller carbon footprint. HRC is proposing a tax incentive to encourage sustainable farming practices and combat illicit sales. This initiative aims to foster an eco-friendly cannabis industry while providing financial relief to producers committed to environmentally responsible cultivation methods.
- Excise Act, 2001 and related federal–provincial coordination agreements. The objective is to advocate for a reduction in the current excise duty rates for nicotine vaping.
