MONTREAL -- Quebec's government-run cannabis monopoly has launched a hiring drive with jobs starting at $14 per hour, but it cannot yet confirm Montreal will be among the cities getting the first wave of pot stores.
Candidates without criminal records are being invited to apply on the website of the corporation, which is an independently run subsidiary of the Quebec Liquor Corp.
Quebec is looking to open about 20 stores by mid-October, when federal legislation legalizing cannabis enters into force.
The cannabis corporation has signed leases for stores in Levis, Trois-Rivieres, Drummondville and Quebec City, it announced on Thursday.
