While patrolling the border area during their September 2013 eradication operation, Ontario officers told the Sûreté du Québec about another substantial grow operation along the Quebec-Ontario border.[1] Quebec officers eradicated 2,960 plants there and seized 20 kg of hash and 41 kg of cannabis buds, and charges were laid.[1] The Quebec operation grew out of the same week’s Ontario patrols, in which the Cornwall force seized 7,547 plants across four eastern Ontario counties.[1]

Open questions the AI reported
- Only the Ontario task force's release describes this Quebec-side operation, so no Sûreté du Québec account confirms the figures.
- The release gives no separate date for the Quebec eradication, so it is dated to the end of the 16 to 20 September operation week.
- The release says charges were laid but gives no number of people charged and names no one.
- The release gives no detail on how the 20 kg of hash and 41 kg of buds were weighed or packaged.
