Risk Analysis:
Comments to the AGCO must be submitted by the municipality within 15 days. If submissions are not received within this period, they will not be considered. However, the AGCO is the provincial authority in cannabis retail licenses and the City has no recourse if the AGCO issues a license despite any objections made.
