,Alleged' with no conviction. Case closed.

No, actually, they can't. That's akin to saying that Ministry of Transportation can't issue you a license because your father has a DUI. Or you can't get a prescription for painkillers because your sister was convicted of trafficking. It doesn't work like that. You're actually completely wrong on this one, and you posted a misleading article as you didn't include the follow up where Health Canada recommended the charges be dropped. Just give this one up dude, there's enough issue with this company that you can pick on them with other things.

Health Canada is a government ministry. As such, they are bound by statute. Nowhere under s. 26 of the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, SOR/2013-119, grounds for refusal, does it authorize the Minister to refuse to grant a license due to the actions of a family member (in this case, charges were dropped anyways). The Minister is not authorized to act outside of the scope of what the legislation grants him jurisdiction to do.

Unless there's some aspect of Canadian law that I'm unfamiliar with that you can specifically point to, you should just give it up.
