加拿大安大略省拟改革啤酒销售方式

    食品伙伴网讯   据外媒报道，安大略省政府资产顾问委员会周四发布报告，建议政府向私营机构出售安省电力（Hydro One）60%的所有权，并且让全省450家杂货店出售啤酒，并新设啤酒税。

    政府称，将通过引入立法，改变啤酒在安大略省的销售方式。其中包括在全省各地人口集中地区，增加最多450个销售点，这些商店要求有指定的、可以封闭起来的啤酒零售间，要确保相关员工有适当的培训。

    新啤酒牌照将签发给杂货店，他们可以出售单瓶装或6瓶包装的啤酒，但销售时间需要与现有的Beer Store一样。新的啤酒税适用于在安省销售的所有啤酒，此举省府每年估计可获1亿元收入。

    部分原文报道如下：

    Ontario will sell off 60 per cent of electricity utility Hydro One to the private sector, allow 450 grocery stores across the province to sell beer and impose a new tax on the beverage.

    Ms. Wynne put significantly more emphasis Thursday on the beer retail reforms, which are expected to be more popular than the Hydro One sell-off. As she made the announcement in a conference room at a government office building, she stood before a massive sign touting beer in grocery stores.

    “The Beer Store has grown into a de facto monopoly, controlled by a very small numbers of companies. This system has stifled competition, it's kept craft and small brewers from growing and it's limited the consumer experience,” she said. “When it comes to the sale of beer in Ontario, I'm here to announce that the status quo is over and the days of monopoly are done.”
