Prospectus Supplement supplements the prospectus supplement, dated September 1, 2023 (the &ldquo;ATM Prospectus Supplement&rdquo;), relating
to the offer and sale of our common shares, no par value (the &ldquo;Common Shares&rdquo;), having an aggregate offering price of up
to $30,000,000 pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement, dated September 1, 2023 (the &ldquo;Equity Distribution Agreement&rdquo;),
with Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (&ldquo;Craig-Hallum&rdquo;), and the prospectus, dated August 18, 2023 (the &ldquo;Prospectus&rdquo;).
Through the date hereof, we have sold an aggregate of approximately $677,684 of Common Shares through Craig-Hallum under the Equity Distribution
Agreement. This Prospectus Supplement should be read in conjunction with the ATM Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus and is qualified
by reference thereto, except to the extent that the information herein amends or supersedes the information contained in the ATM Prospectus
Supplement or the Prospectus, as applicable. This Prospectus Supplement is not complete without, and may only be delivered or utilized

March 28, 2024, the date we filed our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the &ldquo;Annual Report&rdquo;),
we became subject to the offering limits in General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3. As of the date of this Prospectus Supplement, the
aggregate market value of our Common Shares held by non-affiliates pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3 is approximately
$72,443,735, which was calculated based on 47,660,352 Common Shares held by non-affiliates as of the date hereof, and a price of $1.52
per share, the closing price of our Common Shares on February 27, 2024, which is the highest closing sale price of our Common Shares
on the Nasdaq Capital Market (&ldquo;Nasdaq&rdquo;) within the 60 days prior to the filing of the Annual Report. As of the date of this
Prospectus Supplement, we have sold an aggregate of approximately $24,153 of securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5 of Form
F-3 during the 12 calendar months prior to, and including, the date of this Prospectus Supplement. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5
of Form F-3, in no event will we sell securities in public primary offerings on Form F-3 with a value exceeding one-third of our public
float (as defined by General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3) in any 12-calendar month period so long as our public float remains below
$75.0 million.</FONT></P>

during the 12 calendar months prior to, and including, the date of this Prospectus Supplement. However, in the event that our public
float increases or decreases, we may sell securities in public primary offerings on Form F-3 with a value up to one-third of our public

terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement. In the event that our public float increases above $75.0 million, we will no longer be subject
