Gatineau's first sanctioned cannabis shop opened its doors Wednesday. More than two dozen people were waiting in line when the Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC) location opened at 73 boul. Last week, the SQDC announced earlier supply issues had been addressed, and all Quebec cannabis shops would be open seven days a week. This is the 15th shop to open in Quebec since the federal government legalized cannabis on Oct. 17, 2018. He told Radio-Canada he's not worried about competition from Gatineau because so many Gatineau residents work in Ottawa.
