## Resource

In this episode of The-Food-&-Wine-Radio-Network, host Jennifer English discusses the recent statement from the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister responsible for Internal Trade, urging provinces and territories to implement direct-to-consumer alcohol sales. LeBlanc highlights the progress made by Manitoba, New Brunswick, Ontario, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, while encouraging other provinces to follow suit. The Minister reassures that such a decision not only encourages cross-border trade but also bolsters economic growth and allows consumers to buy their favorite alcoholic beverages directly from the producers. LeBlanc concludes by reaffirming government support towards freer trade within Canada and the belief in achieving One Canadian Economy.
