Update on Dan's Private Member's Bill
Interprovincial trade of wine: Bill C-311
Bill C-311 has cleared another hurdle, as it has passed unanimously without amendments by a review of the Standing Committee on Finance. To read more about the bill's next steps click here. For a look at some videos and stories on the bill click here.
If you would like to help support Bill C-311, I would suggest joining the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/endwineprohibition or help support by asking friends and family to sign a petition for your MP to table in the House of Commons. You can find out more at www.freemygrapes.ca, a grassroots organization that has long advocated for these changes at the Federal level and I am happy to have their support.
Canadians are a law-abiding people who like to follow the law, and many share a passion for our great Canadian wines. This passion for wine along with the hard work of many Canadian families have resulted in wineries now being located in every province across our great nation.
My bill proposes an amendment to the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act. This amendment would create a personal exemption from the act. This personal exemption will allow individuals to either directly import, send, take or transport, or cause to be imported, sent, taken or transported wine only for personal consumption. This is not for resale or for other commercial use in quantities as permitted by the province in question.
