Canadian Cannabis — Good Production Practices (GPP)

Overview

Draft GPP documentation under Part 5 of the Cannabis Regulations. Covers sanitation, storage, distribution, pest control, QA, preventive controls, testing, and the Quality Assurance Person (QAP) role for cultivation and processing licences.

Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the Canadian Cannabis — Good Production Practices (GPP) skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

Example conversation

You: We have a processing licence and need to document our Good Production Practices for Part 5—sanitation, storage, QA, preventive controls, and testing. We have a designated QAP.

Agent: I’ll scope for processing and load the GPP requirements reference. I’ll draft procedures covering: sanitation programs and hand hygiene stations; storage and distribution; pest control and sanitizers; ventilation, water, lighting; temperature and humidity controls; separation from contaminants; quality assurance and the QAP role; hazard identification and preventive control plan; and testing (phytocannabinoids, contaminants, dissolution where required). I’ll use the GPP checklist to ensure coverage, then run the validation tool to confirm the main GPP areas are present and flag any placeholders.
