Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. announced that Punit Dhillon has temporarily stepped down as a director of the company in order to potentially expedite Emerald license applications to Health Canada while Health Canada processes Mr. Dhillon’s previously submitted normal course application for security clearance to meet the requirements for company directors under the Cannabis Act. Mr. Dhillon will continue to serve as an observer to Emerald’s Board of Directors and will be reappointed as a director upon his security clearance being finalized.
