## Resource

Quebec’s refusal to join Canada’s new direct-to-consumer alcohol shipping agreement is sparking industry frustration — while nine other provinces open up cross-border sales, Quebec producers remain locked out, losing ground as competitors build brand loyalty elsewhere. The province says it supports the move but needs to update its laws post-election, delaying action until late fall or early winter. Federal Minister Dominic LeBlanc is pushing hard for provincial cooperation, while Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford leads the charge for trade liberalization. Meanwhile, Quebec’s alcohol sector is modernizing, but industry voices say they were sidelined in key consultations, with the provincial alcohol board acting as the sole liaison — leaving them feeling excluded and left behind in a system where even shipping across Canada may soon be easier than within Quebec itself.
