Before cannabis entrepreneurs apply for a licence

They must have a facility. Many don't have money for a site so they turn to banks or other lenders, but don't always have the credit history to support a loan or feel they have to clear additional hurdles because of their race.

"If you're coming in and you've never been in a community that raised capital before ... you don't have a rich uncle tap into and take you by the hand and say 'let me talk to my friends to raise more capital you', you're definitely at a disadvantage," said Pascal.

When one of Boodram's clients, a Black woman, sought funding she quickly realized investors were predominantly white men.

"She felt she had to try a lot harder, that they asked her a lot more grilling questions and that she faced a lot more scrutiny," Boodram recalled. "It wasn't really representative of what others would be facing that were not minorities."

It took years for her to push past the layers of skepticism to secure financing.

Licensing

Once the hurdles of financing and securing a site are complete, the next step is licensing. The application process involves a lot of red tape and it's common to need consultants and lawyers to navigate the process.

Boodram wishes Health Canada would offer more supports for racialized entrepreneurs seeking licensing.

"Sometimes it takes a bit longer to have Health Canada respond to them, and they're not always willing to have teleconferences, if they're not already licence holders ... so that could be better," she said.

She suggests the Indigenous Navigator Service, which links Indigenous entrepreneurs with a "dedicated professional," who can guide them through the licensing process and is knowledgeable about Indigenous priorities, as a good model that could be replicated for other communities.

When asked about concerns Boodram and others have raised, Health Canada said it is still reviewing feedback from racialized communities.

"The Government of Canada has an important role in combating racism and ensuring that its programs and policies are evidence-based and do not create or perpetuate systemic barriers for racialized communities," spokesperson Alexander Beattie said in an email.
