Bill 85: Quebec Retailers to Gain Flexibility with Extended Hours  

The introduction of Bill 85 marks a pivotal moment for Quebec retailers, easing regulatory constraints and offering pharmacy operators and grocers more flexibility to meet customer demands. Key changes include the removal of limits on employee numbers in pharmacies and supermarkets during extended hours, paving the way for greater operational freedom.
