Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
A small amendment to the Industrial Hemp Regulations made a French-language (bijural) correction to the rule governing plant breeders who hold cultivation or propagation licences. The substantive English rule is unchanged: plant breeders must still grow or propagate only the specific hemp variety or germplasm identified in their licence. No new obligations or restrictions were introduced for licence holders. Plant breeders operating under these licences do not need to change their practices as a result of this update.
Who this affects
