An agreement signed by nine provinces and one territory will allow Canadians, except those in Newfoundland and Labrador and Yukon, to order direct-to-consumer alcohol from out-of-province producers by spring 2026. Details on shipping and taxation still need refinement. This agreement emerges from efforts to dissolve interprovincial trade barriers. It also includes labor mobility and trucking regulations to enhance the Canadian economy. Recent legislation facilitates compliance between provincial and federal trade rules and eases the licensing of certain workers.
Nine provinces and one territory have signed an agreement to allow direct-to-consumer alcohol sales by next spring, enabling Canadians outside Newfoundland and Yukon to order alcohol from producers in other provinces.
Quebec's junior economy minister emphasized that while many details still need to be finalized for the alcohol sales, the goal is to ensure a smooth implementation and benefit for Canadians.
The agreement is part of a broader effort to eliminate interprovincial trade barriers, addressing alcohol sales alongside labor mobility and trucking regulations to strengthen the Canadian economy.
Federal legislation passed last month removes internal trade barriers, ensuring goods or services meeting provincial rules also comply with federal requirements, facilitating worker licensing.
