The New Brunswick government has again delayed a final decision on whether to privatize Cannabis NB. Eight companies submitted proposals, and a final decision was expected by spring. Patrick Parent, president and CEO of Alcool NB Liquor and Cannabis NB, resigned on Dec. 22. Following the release of those results, Vienneau said a final decision on whether to privatize Cannabis NB was coming soon, and its recent success would be taken into consideration. Less than three months later, on Dec. 22, Parent announced he was resigning from the top job at Cannabis NB after just 16 months.
