Statistics Canada has a requirement to collect statistics on the production and consumption of cannabis, medical and non-medical, both before and after the expected legalization of cannabis this summer. In particular, the Agency will be collecting information on cannabis consumption through the analysis of municipal wastewater. The supplier is expected to be able to perform analyses for multiple municipalities (perhaps 15 or 20), on a monthly basis. The supplier will be responsible for assisting municipalities in the implementation of appropriate sampling techniques, in performing the analyses, and in communicating the results to the agency. The analysis will be for cannabis metabolites, and may include other drugs as well.
