THE LIQUOR CONTROL AMENDMENT ACT (LIQUOR VENDOR SITING)
Explanatory Note |
(Assented to )
HER MAJESTY, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba, enacts as follows:
The Liquor Control Act is amended by this Act.
The following is added after subsection 17(1):
Commission's own stores in other municipalities not to be considered
In considering under subsection (1) whether to deem any part of a rural area as being at such a distance from an existing liquor store that it is desirable that, for the convenience of the inhabitants of the area, a place for the sale of liquor be established, the commission must not, despite any agreement to the contrary, have regard to a liquor store operated by the commission that is in a municipality other than the municipality in which the liquor vendor would be located.
This Act comes into force on the day it receives royal assent.
