Bill 56 would remove the provincial requirement that outsiders cannot see inside age-restricted cannabis stores and authorise regulations setting minimum staffing levels, including during specified hours. It does not remove the separate federal restriction on displaying cannabis products to people outside. The bill reached second reading on 6 October and committee hearings on 8 October; the reviewed legislature catalogue listed no enacted version. No operative staffing number or new consumer possession limit was established.[1][2][3][4]
