Emery tweeted earlier today he would plead guilty and pay a fine.

In a brief exchange later with reporters at the Montreal courthouse, he criticized Quebec’s plan to sell pots in government-run stores.

The federal Liberal government plans to allow legal recreational cannabis by late summer, but the manner of selling of it is left up to the individual provinces.

Pot dispensaries are illegal under current federal legislation unless they have a licence from Health Canada to sell it for medical purposes.
