recommending the passage of a franchise specific statute for

ReportwithCover-forPrint- FINAL.pdf Much of what is being
recommended follows the lead of the other 5 provinces with similar

anomalies and ambiguities in those other statutes. We will keep you
advised about the developments, as this process unfolds."
