Matt Maurer speaks to CBC News on the wrongful dismissal allegations toward Bonify Medical Cannabis

A Winnipeg cannabis producer will face no criminal charges from the RCMP after a third-party investigation revealed it sold unlicensed product.

Matt Maurer, a Toronto lawyer who specializes in cannabis legislation, said it's disappointing that no criminal consequences are forthcoming when it seems like something illegal occurred.
