New Brunswick
New Brunswick will have public retail outlets which will be operated as subsidiaries of New Brunswick Liquor (the “NBL”). The stores will be coupled with online sales that will either use a deliver to customer’s homes or delivered to stores for customer pick-up. The stores will operate based on the conditions established by the NBL.
New Brunswick has signed agreements with Organigram, Canopy Growth Corp, Zenabis, and Nuuvera Inc. for the supply of recreational cannabis in the province.
Quebec
In Quebec, retail sales will be publicly run and conducted by a subsidiary of the Societe des Alcools du Quebec (the “SAQ”) known as the Societe Quebecoise du Cannabis. All distribution will be done through the SAQ. Six of Canada’s federally licensed producers – Hydropothecary, Canopy Growth, Aphria, MedReleaf, Aurora and Tilray – have signed letters of intent to supply the SAQ with cannabis for the recreational market.
