Yes.
The dual approach of Health Canada, which was to implement a completely unjustified interpretation of zero tolerance for any non-THC cannabinoid in any hemp process product, really put an end to hemp entering the natural health products and veterinary health products sector completely and has absolutely put additional risk in the highly value-added processes or programs in hemp fibre, as well as hemp foods from seed and stock. Because Health Canada has basically treated the whole plant as cannabis, the ability to use hemp roots to extract bioactives and/or to infuse the product for even topical lotions has been completely voided.
We have a major issue with Health Canada treating hemp as cannabis, which is the opposite of what the intentions of the Cannabis Act and the industrial hemp regulations were in the first place.
