He says each participating province and territory will decide how to implement the policy within their jurisdictions.
All 10 provinces and the Yukon signed an agreement last year to allow consumers to order Canadian wine, spirits, beer and other alcoholic beverages for personal consumption directly from producers.
Nova Scotia and Ontario signed a deal on March 2 to allow people to buy alcohol from producers in either province.
