Van Sun says Hexo, others hear B.C. eases on $1.5M fine

The Vancouver Sun reports in its Wednesday edition that embarrassed by a draconian policy revealed by a $1.5-million fine imposed on an illicit cannabis shop, the B.C. pot police will now provide legal disclosure about the grounds for the staggering penalty and any other tickets issued. The Sun's Ian Mulgrew writes that deputy director of the Community Security Unit, Lisa Romanuik, said in a letter to Alex Robb, general manager of Victoria's Trees of Eden Island Grown, that he would receive all relevant evidence related to the stiff rebuke. "We have reconsidered certain aspects of the SCU Administrative Hearing Process for Administrative Monetary Penalties," she wrote. Although those cited must still ask for an administrative hearing to obtain full disclosure, Ms. Romanuik explained that applicants who do so now will have 45 days after receiving the disclosure package to decide whether to dispute the penalty or cop a plea for a 50-per-cent discount. Mr. Robb said he was overwhelmed to be held personally responsible by the nascent enforcement agency upholding the new pot act. He said the numbered company, in which he is a minority shareholder, should have been named as the operator of the stores and owner of the stock.
