About this statute

This provision amends section 1 of the Liquor Act, 1989 by changing several references and headings, including adding a new section 6A and replacing references to “Minister” with “Member of Executive Council” in two places. This section changes several definitions in the principal Act, including Board, chairperson, competent authority, Member of the Executive Council, Premier, and recorder. This section amends liquor-sale exceptions for certain ship, aircraft, and controlled-premises situations, and extends the Act to additional former territories. This section amends liquor law rules so the chairman/chairperson or Board may declare the Act not to apply to named liquor sales, impose or change conditions, and create a separate Liquor Board for each province. The Board must advise the Minister or give the Minister a report or recommendation on referred matters about the Act or liquor distribution control.
