A former director of quality and compliance at CannTrust Holdings Inc. says the growth of cannabis in unlicensed rooms was “very openly discussed” at the pot company.
“There was no hiding this. There was no denial of this,” Graham Lee told the Ontario court of justice’s Old City Hall court on Monday.
The issue was discussed on multiple occasions, even with members of the senior leadership team, Lee added.
His remarks come as three former executives at the cannabis company face a series of securities offences linked to unlicensed growing that allegedly occurred at a Niagara, Ont. area facility owned by CannTrust, which is now called Phoena Holdings Inc.
