I just have to ask this question because constituents keep asking me this question. I come from Saskatchewan. Why can't I go to Safeway and get my wine? Why do I have to go to a liquor board store? If you go to Florida and you go down to Walmart, you can have a selection of row upon row of wine, and row upon row of different types of alcohol and beer. Why do we feel here in Canada that we need to go to a specialty store? Why do we need to limit the access from one province to the other on wine? Can you explain this to me? Is this something that we can maybe mature beyond and actually move forward?
The other problem I have is that it's not federal, but provincial. I'll leave it at that.
