The system would be more open, flexible and convenient for consumers, the panel concluded. The government could restrict the number of stores and their hours, and also retain the current $24-a-case minimum price, to discourage excessive drinking. And it could focus on enforcing existing laws preventing the sale of booze to minors. The government said the public wasn’t ready.
I can drive 45 minutes to New York state and be ready. I can drive two hours to Quebec and be ready, too. Heck, I can go to a small town 30 minutes outside of the city and be ready at an agency store, too. Can anyone explain how I was assessed as not being ready?
None
