Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne might be keen to start selling pot in Ontario’s provincially-owned liquor stores, but federal Health Minister Jane Philpott says Ottawa’s plans for a legal recreational marijuana market aren’t that far along yet.

Yesterday Wynne suggested it “would make a lot of sense” to sell marijuana through the province’s LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) stores.

Philpott said Tuesday the government is still some distance from making decisions on such details as where legal marijuana will be sold.

“I’m happy to see that my provincial counterparts are looking at what they think might be good ideas. But that does not imply we’re anywhere near that stage of our discussions,” the minister told reporters today following a cabinet meeting.

Philpott said the federal government is in the “beginning stages” of discussions with Justice and Public Safety in setting up an expert task force to examine and make recommendations on a regulated recreational market in Canada. Philpott said the government has started to consider names for the task force.

The minister said she’s not at the point yet where she can say what kind of age limit will be placed on marijuana sales — but stressed it’s an important detail to hammer out.

“The whole purpose of why we have decided that it’s appropriate for us to to legalize, regulate and restrict access to marijuana is because of the impact of marijuana on youth and children in particular,” she said.

Philpott added that the government wants to address the “incredibly high rates of youth access to marijuana,” but didn’t offer details.
