Thank you very much.
This will be an amendment to the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act. It would remove the federal requirement that alcohol moving interprovincially be sold or consigned to a provincial liquor authority. Provinces and territories would still have the authority to control the sale and distribution of alcohol within their jurisdictions. The Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act would only apply to alcohol imported into Canada. Finally, the amendment fulfills the commitment made during the first ministers meeting in December 2018.
