Under the terms of the LOI, Tilray will supply the Quebec market with up to 5,000 kg of cannabis per year across a variety of brands.

The LOI secures a safe, regulated supply of cannabis products for Quebec from Tilray, an internationally-recognized federally-licensed producer trusted for its commitment to quality, compliance and responsibility.
