This document contains a petition addressed to various Ontario government officials urging them to change the province's liquor laws to allow the sale of wine and beer in convenience stores. It argues that the current laws are inconvenient for consumers and represent lost economic opportunities for the convenience store industry. The petition cites a poll showing 63% of Ontarians support increased access to wine and beer in convenience stores and asks recipients to address the 84-year old laws that give the LCBO and Beer Store near-exclusive sales rights.
