Canada: Doug Ford to consult ministers over loosening law on public drinking
Toronto, Sept 29 (IBNS): Ontario Premier Doug Ford has said he will talk to senior ministers over loosening law on public drinking, media reports said.
Ford on Friday expressed his openness to allowing people living in his province to enjoy wine or beer in parks.
Ford has been quoted by Toronto Star, "So I’m going to have to sit down with John and a couple of the other municipal ministers and get their input and consult about it."
"I don’t like people walking around getting drunk or smoking weed or any of that in a public area of a park. But again, I want to consult with our entire cabinet, especially consult with our Attorney General (Caroline Mulroney) and my Finance Minister Vic Fedeli," he added.
"They’re both great ministers and I’ll dig deeper into that.”
Earlier this year, the use of Cannabis has been legalised in Canada.
The legalisation of marijuana use, except in cars and boats, will kick in next month.
