LeBlanc open to Conservative bill to let Canada Post deliver booze to consumers across country

The Conservatives tabled a private member's bill to allow Canada Post to ship alcohol directly to consumers nationwide; Internal Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said he is open to the idea. If implemented, the proposal could reconfigure alcohol distribution channels, shift volumes toward direct-to-consumer logistics via Canada Post and affect provincial liquor boards and retailers, though no timeline or financial estimates were provided.
