MPP says direct-to-consumer alcohol sales agreement will unlock opportunities
Nipissing’s MPP is welcoming an agreement between nine provinces to allow direct-to-consumer sales of alcoholic beverages for personal use.
“As Canada continues to build a more streamlined and resilient economy, Ontario is proud to have co-led the landmark direct-to-consumer agreement, unlocking new market opportunities for local producers and manufacturers,” says Vic Fedeli, Nipissing MPP and Ontario’s Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade Minister.
Premier Doug Ford says in the face of President Trump’s latest tariffs, it’s more important than ever that Team Canada work together to build a more united, resilient and self-reliant Canadian economy.
“Today’s agreement will open new markets and new choice and convenience for producers and customers in Ontario and across Canada, while helping unlock more than $200 billion in untapped economic opportunity that is currently being held back by internal trade barriers,” says Ford.
Fedeli adds they look forward to leveraging the momentum from this deal to break down more internal trade barriers and advance ‘true, free trade across Canada’.
