Whether you were born in Canada or chose to come here and make Canada your home, we are all proud and thankful to be Canadians. We can be proud that we live in a caring and compassionate society. We can be proud to live in a society fostered by strong public institutions that protect our most vulner- able citizens. Most impor- tantly we can be proud of our robust economy that gives you and your loved ones ayou and your loved ones ay free, fair and equitablefree, fair and equitablef chance to succeed.

No longer will you be lim- ited and restricted by the Beer Store - which by the way is not owned by the province.

I wish everyone a safe and happy summer holidays, and please - enjoy responsibly!
