S.M. 2021, c. 51

Bill 60, 3rd Session, 42nd Legislature

The Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Control Amendment Act (2)

Explanatory Note

This note was written as a reader's aid to the Bill and is not part of the law.

This Bill amends The Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Control Act.

A licence from the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba is required to deliver liquor ordered from licensed premises or a liquor retailer and cannabis ordered from a cannabis store. A licence is not required if employees of these businesses make deliveries directly to customers or if a person making a delivery is exempted by regulation.

The Authority may employ or retain minors and young persons to help determine whether persons licensed under the Act are contravening rules that prohibit certain conduct involving minors or young persons.

Marketing representatives and agents of a liquor manufacturer or liquor distributor are no longer required to register with the Authority.
