Manitoba pledges to defend ban on home grown cannabis
Manitoba's Progressive Conservative government says it will push to keep home cultivation banned even as federal plans move forward. Justice Minister Heather Stefanson says regulating home grows is provincial jurisdiction and Manitoba will defend that position if needed. The bill allows up to four plants per home after recreational cannabis is legalized, while provinces like Manitoba and Quebec seek stricter rules. Stefanson cites protecting children and police efficiency in arguing to retain the ban.
