Wanted: Long-term medicinal marijuana supplier; Apply to Health Canada
WINNIPEG (CP) – People who want to grow pot for the federal government may soon get the chance.
Health Canada’s five-year, $5.75-million contract with its current supplier of medicinal marijuana, Prairie Plant Systems, appears to be winding down and the department is preparing to seek proposals from all potential suppliers.
“Public Works and Government Services Canada continues to negotiate with Prairie Plant Systems to ensure an uninterrupted supply of marijuana for research and for authorized users while a (request for proposal) process is carried out to identify a long-term supplier,” said Health Canada spokeswoman Carole Saindon.
What’s Mark Emery up to these days?
