The Trudeau government has seemingly gone back on its original plan to allocate 50 per cent of the tax from marijuana purchases to the provinces once the drug is formerly legalized.
Many provinces made noise about the fact that their municipalities will be bearing the brunt of policing the use of marijuana, even after it becomes legal. They argued that the federal government shouldn’t be getting the same amount as the provinces, as was originally planned by Trudeau and company.
In advance of a meeting between federal, provincial and territorial leaders on December 10 and 11, Finance Minister Bill Morneau has said the federal government may take less than 50 per cent of the tax revenue.
