The appellant appealed the Registrar's proposal to refuse his application for a cannabis retail manager licence.

The refusal was based on the appellant's prior criminal convictions and his failure to disclose numerous driving charges, convictions, and suspensions on his application.

The Tribunal found that the appellant provided false information by failing to disclose his driving record and licence suspensions.

The Tribunal concluded there were reasonable grounds to believe the appellant would not act with integrity or in accordance with the law, and dismissed the appeal.

The applicant appealed a Notice of Proposal to Review an Application for a Liquor Licence for its convenience store in Brampton.

The City of Brampton opposed the licence, arguing it was not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents.

The Tribunal found that the City failed to provide direct evidence regarding the needs and wishes of the residents or the impact on the immediate community.

The Tribunal ordered the Registrar to issue the licence without conditions, noting that the applicant had sufficient policies and procedures in place to responsibly handle the sale of alcohol.
