Liberals looking to loosen liquor laws

The province is considering major changes to Ontario liquor laws.

The new rules would get rid of beer tents at festivals and events — allowing people to walk around events like the Sound of Music or Festival of Friends — drink in hand.

They’re also proposing extending the hours that booze can be served at special events — like weddings and charity fundraisers — to 2 am from 1 am

And ‘all-inclusive vacation packages’ could soon be sold in Ontario.

Nick Dixon asked Ontario Attorney General Chris Bentley what was behind the move.
