Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil made it clear that ensuring an adequate supply is Ottawa's responsibility.
"It's their timeline, their permitting--it's their responsibility to ensure the supply is here," said McNeil. "What we're going to do is to make that we're going to meet our commitments in terms of making sure this product becomes legal."
