Re: Bill 120

Dear Premier Dexter,

It has been brought to my attention that the Nova Scotia government has introduced a Bill in legislature to empower the NSLC to directly obtain an injunction against someone in violation of the Liquor Control Act. After reviewing the proposed Bill 120 it is my understanding that the NSLC would apply to a Supreme Court of Nova Scotia judge directly if there is reason to believe a person or business is likely to, or is continuing to commit a violation of liquor legislation or regulations.

I send this letter in response to this proposed bill and wish to make it clear that I am opposed to this Bill on many levels. This proposed Bill seems to have numerous ulterior motives well outside the parameters of public safety. The Bill is thinly disguised as a Public Health & Safety concern and seems more designed to bypass due process and allows the NSLC, a crown corporate retailer, to impose their will and interfere in any business they deem a competitor.

As a Nova Scotian consumer, I request the opportunity to be afforded the same services and privileges as consumers in other provinces. If passed, this Bill would jeopardize these services and privileges. In a democratic society deeming a business or person guilty until proven innocent is simply not acceptable.

Regards

The Process of Making Wine

Start with Quality Ingredients

Your local wine kit vendor will advise you on the purchase of a quality wine grape concentrate kit based upon your preferences.

Mix as per Expert Instructions

After your purchase you will move to the in-store winery area. There, under the guidance of your wine consultant, you will mix the ingredients of your kit and add the yeast to start the organic process of fermentation

Ferment in Controlled, Sterile Environment

Your wine will continue to ferment. Upon completion it will be transferred to a carboy for de-gassing and clarification.

Bottle and Enjoy!

Upon notification of your wine consultant, you will return to bottle and cork your wine. This is mandated by the Canada Revenue Agency as the wine belongs to the customer, not the u-vint operator.

Wine making is a wonderful hobby. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to make your own wine in a controlled environment with guaranteed results? Ask your Premier why he thinks you should be denied the right of other Canadians.
