"It's time for government to unshackle us"........That message delivered at a hearing in the city on changing liquor regulations by Luc Erjavec of the Restaurant and Foodservices Association in Atlantic Canada. He say people in the industry should be concentrating on not over serving and underage drinkers instead of complying with silly regulations that serve no useful purpose. The hearing has been told underage drinking is out of control and was presented with a stack of fake I-D's.
Bar and restaurant owners say they want to pay a wholesale price for beer, liquour and wine instead of what the rest of us are charged.
The hearing was also told customers should be able to cork their unfinished wine and bring it home with them instead of having to guzzle it on the spot.
There was also the suggestion the time has come to start selling liquor, beer and wine in supermarkets and corner stores.
