Summary of Proposal:
The Ministry of Seniors Affairs is proposing the following changes to the Retirement Homes Act, 2010 Regulation 166/11 in preparation for federal legalization of cannabis, which is expected to come into effect by July 2018.

The proposed regulatory amendments, if approved, would come into effect at the same time as the federal legislation, should it be passed.
