Manitoba premier asks colleagues to cut restrictions on inter-provincial booze
WINNIPEG — Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister is asking his colleagues to eliminate restrictions on interprovincial booze runs.
In advance of next week’s premiers meeting in New Brunswick, Pallister has written a letter to other provincial leaders outlining his priorities.
In the letter obtained by The Canadian Press, Pallister says the provinces should remove their limits on interprovincial transportation of alcohol for personal use.
He says the idea has broad public support, and would show progress in the effort to reduce inter-provincial barriers on other items.
