A Quarter Billion Dollars and Community Support for Nova Scotia’s Future

Did you know that the NSLC returned over $280 million to the province last year? This significant revenue directly supports the programs and services that matter most to you and your family. From our hospitals and healthcare to our schools and the roads we drive on, these funds are essential for building a stronger, healthier Nova Scotia.

Let’s Focus on Real Solutions

The government has stated that its focus is on solutions and problem-solving. However, suggesting that Nova Scotia needs beer and wine in convenience and grocery stores is a solution in search of a problem.  Who is having a problem accessing beverage alcohol?  Will having beer in wine in convenience and grocery stores really benefit the industries?

Our current system, staffed and managed by dedicated NSGEU members, effectively balances accessibility with social responsibility and prominently displays our local vinters, brewers and distillers. All while generating crucial revenue (See the impact these changes are having on Ontario’s finances HERE) for our province and supporting essential community initiatives.

True solutions lie in strengthening the services that already work for Nova Scotians, not in introducing measures that could undermine public safety and vital public funding.

Publicly controlled liquor provides strong public services, responsible practices, and good jobs in communities across Nova Scotia.  Why mess with a good thing?
