… About consultation on B.C.’s liquor laws

By Bill Bennett

Kootenay East MLA 

1. The consultation on B.C.’s liquor laws – one of the most comprehensive public consultations ever done by the B.C. government – is now complete. The Liquor Policy Review, led by Parliamentary Secretary John Yap, will now review all the submissions and make his final report to the Minister of Justice.

2. The final report will include recommendations for making common-sense, balanced changes that reflect current lifestyles, continue to grow our economy while minimizing health and public safety impacts.

3. It is expected the final report will answer many questions: Allowing craft beer and wine to be sold at farmer’s markets? Streamlining applications for Special Occasion Licences? Allowing children to accompany their parents at liquor primary establishments such as pubs and legions?
