Overview

In order to support the government's response during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to ensure the health and safety of Canadians, Health Canada temporarily adjusted its approach to the administration and enforcement of the Cannabis Act and its regulations. The department continued to maintain and used its ability to conduct inspections in accordance with the cannabis program's risk-based approach and focused on activities that represented the highest risk to public health and public safety. The program adapted its approach to conduct offsite and hybrid inspections, while onsite planned inspections, including inspections of registered personal and designated production of cannabis for medical purposes, were temporarily postponed due to public health measures and restrictions across the country. These onsite planned inspections were resumed in fiscal year 2021-22. Health Canada continues to strengthen its oversight to reduce the misuse of the cannabis for medical purposes framework, while maintaining reasonable access to cannabis for medical purposes for Canadians.

This summary includes results for cannabis inspections conducted from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. During this fiscal year, a total of 210 inspections of regulated parties were conducted under the Cannabis Act and its regulations (Figure 1).

An inspection rating was assigned to 205 of 210 inspections conducted under the Cannabis Act and its regulations. Some targeted inspections (5 of 39) were not assigned a rating and an explanation is provided in the Inspection results section.

During this period, Health Canada issued a total of fourteen non-compliant inspection reports under the Cannabis Act and its regulations.

Issues observed included: non-compliance with Good Production Practices (GPP), inadequate record keeping, inventory discrepancies, unauthorized activities, and failure to meet certain physical security requirements.

Measures initiated by Health Canada

Health Canada may take enforcement actions to address non-compliance or to mitigate risks to public health or public safety. These may include, but are not limited to, issuance of warning letters, seizure and detention of products, licence suspension or revocation.
Between April 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021, under the Cannabis Act and its regulations, the following measures were initiated:

• 3 warning letters were issued to formally advise the licence holder of their non-compliance and to require corrective measures^{Footnote 1}
• 2 seizures and detentions of products were conducted
• 1 licence was suspended

In addition, regulated parties must take corrective actions during or after the inspection to address any noted deficiencies or deviations from the legislative or regulatory requirements.

For more information, consult the Inspection results section.

Promotions related compliance verification activities

In addition to inspection activities noted above, Health Canada verifies compliance with the promotional prohibitions under the Cannabis Act for any person conducting these activities.

Between April 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021, Health Canada conducted 294 promotions related compliance verification activities, which were carried out based on information received on alleged non-compliances with the promotional prohibitions under the Cannabis Act. This resulted in 85 actions, which include one or more of the following: warning letters, compliance emails, and compliance promotion emails or calls. In the order of highest to lowest priority of actions, during the reporting period, Health Canada initiated:

• 2 warning letters
• 39 compliance emails or letters
• 44 compliance promotion emails or calls

Definitions

Types of inspections

The types of inspections are described as follows:

Sales Inspection

Conducted in relation to the issuance of a licence amendment to authorize sale of additional classes of cannabis products, to verify that the licence holder meets the requirements of the Cannabis Act and its regulations including, but not limited to, Good Production Practices, packaging, labelling, shipping, and record keeping.

Regular Inspection

Conducted to monitor and verify compliance of the licence holder with the requirements of the Cannabis Act and its regulations.

Targeted Inspection

Conducted to verify compliance of the licence holder with particular areas of the Cannabis Act and its regulations.

Registered personal and designated production of cannabis for medical purposes Inspection
Conducted to monitor and verify compliance of the requirements for persons registered to produce cannabis for their own medical purposes or for production of cannabis by a designated person as defined under Part 14 Division 2 of the Cannabis Regulations.

Definitions of observations

An observation is a deficiency or deviation from legislative or regulatory requirements that is:

• noted by an inspector during an inspection and
• confirmed in writing to the licence holder in the inspection report

An observation is classified by the following types:

Critical observations

A critical observation represents the most serious deviation or deficiency of the Cannabis Act or Cannabis Regulations. Critical observations are those that are likely to:

• increase the immediate risk of diversion
• prevent the detection of diversion
• present an imminent health risk
• may also involve the possibility of deliberate fraud, misinterpretation, or falsification of information

Major observations

A major observation describes a situation that may result in a risk to public health or public safety, or may involve fraud, or may increase the risk of diversion, prevent the detection of diversion or health risk.

Minor observations

A minor observation describes a situation that is neither critical nor major, but is a deviation or deficiency from the CA or CR. Minor observations will likely not increase the risk of diversion, prevent the detection of diversion or health risk.

No classification

Registered personal and designated production of cannabis for medical purposes inspections assess for any deficiency or deviation from legislative or regulatory requirements. Observations are made but are not classified for these inspections.

For more information, consult the Inspection results section.

Inspection ratings

An inspection can be assigned a compliant or non-compliant rating, based on the number and severity of observations noted during an inspection.

Compliant rating

A compliant inspection rating means that, at the time of the inspection, the licence holder has met the applicable legislative and regulatory requirements and is in control of the regulated activities under their responsibility.
A compliant inspection rating may be assigned even when observations are present.

Non-compliant rating

A non-compliant inspection rating means that, at the time of the inspection, the licence holder has not met the applicable legislative and regulatory requirements, and may not be fully in control of the regulated activities under their responsibility.
