New Liquor Legislation to Eliminate Trade Barriers with British Columbia

Released on November 27, 2014

Giving Saskatchewan Consumers More Choice and Opening a New Market for Saskatchewan Products  

Changes to Saskatchewan’s liquor legislation introduced today in The Alcohol and Gaming Regulation Amendment Act, 2014 (No. 2) mark the first step toward allowing consumers in Saskatchewan more convenient access to British Columbia’s wine and craft spirits while also creating new market opportunities for Saskatchewan manufacturers.

“This legislation is about eliminating inter-provincial trade barriers that restrict the flow of products between our two provinces and hinder economic growth,” Minister responsible for SLGA Don McMorris said.  “Saskatchewan’s wine and craft spirit industry continues to grow and these changes will create another market opportunity for Saskatchewan made products.”

Once the legislation is passed, expected in spring 2015, consumers in Saskatchewan will be able to make direct purchases of wine and craft spirits from B.C. manufacturers and have it delivered directly to their door.

Officials in both provinces will work together in the coming months to establish processes regarding this new initiative.
