The Ontario Convenience Stores Association and the 6,000 neighborhood and family-run businesses it represents are thrilled at the passage of Bill 115, the Bringing Choice and Fairness to the People Act.
“This is fantastic news for Ontarians and the neighbourhod retailers who are a part of every community in this Province,” said Dave Bryans, CEO, OCSA. “It’s good news for consumers who will get more choice and convenience, good news for Ontario craft breweries and wineries, and sets the stage for job creation for all of our industries.”
The Ontario government is setting up a win-win situation for consumers and businesses. More retailing space for breweries and wineries means more opportunity for business growth and job creation for both producers and retailers – jobs in communities across Ontario and choice and convenience for consumers.
