You should be able to get Canadian alcohol from other provinces shipped directly to your door before fall.
New Brunswick is among 10 provinces and territories that have agreed to direct-to-consumer alcohol sales.
Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Jean-Claude D’Amours said they expect sales to start within a month or two.
“Depending on the speed that we will be able to finalize agreements with other provinces. We know that some provinces have already started on their side,” D’Amours told reporters in Quebec City on Tuesday.
“We are moving in regulation right now, and now that we know the provinces that will join direct-to-consumer, the first ones, I really expect that our producers in New Brunswick will be able to start selling within, I will say, a month or two.”

But D’Amours cautioned that it may take longer in some cases, depending on the work that has to be done with each participating jurisdiction.
Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are the provinces and territories that have not yet signed on to the MOU.
Direct-to-consumer alcohol sales have been a key priority for the federal Committee on Internal Trade as it looks to improve interprovincial trade.
