A proposal to extend liquor service hours at Alberta clubs featuring live music is getting a positive reception from the minister in charge of the province’s liquor regulations.
“I think as long as people are positively engaged in bars as opposed to pounding back drinks, then that would be great,” Finance Minister Joe Ceci said in a year-end interview with CBC News.
Proponents say allowing clubs to serve liquor until 3 a.m. gives them a chance to be more profitable, and gives musicians more places to play.
A motion in support of the proposal was passed in the legislative assembly in the last sitting.
