In Quebec: SQDC Delays Opening New Stores as Province Mulls Revisions to Cannabis Legislation

The SQDC has a "coming soon" sign hanging in a vacant storefront window on Ste-Catherine Street East.

November 12, 2018

The Crown corporation in charge of selling recreational cannabis, the SQDC, says it's not opening any more stores until the government revisits Quebec's marijuana legislation.

That includes a store slated to open last month in front of Montreal's Berri-UQAM Metro station.

The SQDC has a "coming soon" sign hanging in a vacant storefront window on Ste-Catherine Street East, just steps from Place Émilie-Gamelin — a small park known for illegal drug dealing, including black market cannabis, and other illicit activities.
