The New Brunswick government is pushing through cannabis legislation ahead of legalization including the establishment of a Cannabis Education and Awareness Act however they are unsure of what profits and costs will be seen by the sale of the soon to be legal drug.

Health Minister Benoit Bourque said Wednesday it's the right age to make an informed decision, and matches the province's minimum age for alcohol use.

New Brunswick government's official Opposition has released its own recommendations for the province to consider before recreational marijuana is legalized, on the heels of the Select Committee’s report.
