Hard Core Machiavellian Stuff.... ACB is using this Larssen deal to require some level of partnership with those LP's that are currently under construction, to parter with ACB, agree to supply, or have their building projects haulted.. A deal they cannot refuse.....
His is some hard core Machiavellian stuff....
Here is the text from a Globe and Mail PR...
"We're going to certainly encourage those to proceed but we're going to require some level of partnership, whether that be an equity stake or a supply agreement or other things," said Aurora executive vice-president Cam Battley. "We're open to various formulae."
He wouldn't name the five companies but said they don't include CanniMed Therapeutics Inc., against which it is pursuing an all-stock hostile takeover bid, or Newstrike Resources Ltd., a company CanniMed is attempting to buy.
According to its website, cannabis producer The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. is working with Larssen to build a large greenhouse in Quebec. It did not immediately return a request for comment Thursday.
