Toronto City Council’s licensing and standards committee has moved one step closer toward resolving a liquor-licence dispute between the city and the province that left restaurateurs caught in the middle.
The committee voted on Monday to remove a new condition it had imposed on businesses seeking a new liquor licence to have a letter of recommendation from their local MPP. That requirement proved impossible to meet, after the province’s Integrity Commissioner advised MPPs against offering such letters, leaving more than 100 new restaurants and businesses in the city in the lurch.
