End Wine Prohibition in Canada
Our Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas is striving to pass a bill that will allow the transportation of wine from one province to another.
The challenge is that currently today there is a Prohibition era 1928 Federal law that makes it illegal as a private citizen to purchase wine in one Province and import that wine back home into your home Province. This law in effect acts as an inter-provincial trade barrier and also deprives wine consumers of the ability to have freedom of choice to sample from the winery of their choosing. Every province in Canada now has a growing winery industry that can also significantly benefit from having an open Canadian marketplace that will help increase sales, raise capital and assist with expansion and investment that also helps to create jobs. We know firsthand from the Okanagan the value of a thriving wine industry and I believe that opening up the Canadian market to consumers will be a benefit to the wine industry across Canada as a whole.
