Despite pressure from municipalities to share a portion of revenue from the sale of cannabis, Thompson MLA Kelly Bindle says not making any commitments is the responsible thing to do.

In an email to Arctic Radio News, Bindle said that without knowing the revenue, the costs, trends, or predictability of supply, the Province cannot commit to spending unrealized profit anywhere.

He said that the Pallister Government is footing the bill for supply, testing, tracking, distribution, and many more areas of cannabis sales, in addition to sharing 25% of all revenue to the federal government.

Bindle added that the Province is taking the "responsible approach by waiting to see if there is any realized profit or not before making any spending commitments".
