万锦市市议会以12-1的投票结果决定万锦市不允许私营大麻店在市内经营。
万锦市市长薛家平的声明:
"We still have a lot of unanswered questions about community safety, about the impact to families and children,” says Mayor Frank Scarpitti. “This vote by Markham Council reflects the concerns we have heard throughout the community. We have taken this position with the previous government and we applaud the Provincial Government for giving municipalities the choice to opt out.”
密西沙加市市长Bonnie Crombie的声明:
“Today, our Council made the decision to opt out as we feel that the recent changes to the retail cannabis model have occurred too quickly and there are too many unanswered questions at this time."

在福特领导的进步保守党在去年6月当选之前,执政自由党的计划是通过政府专卖店负责大麻销售。福特政府取消该计划,推出私营大麻店模式,由各市镇自行决定是否允许私营大麻店。密西沙加市政府认为,私营大麻店模式出现得太快,目前有太多问题没有答案。
