Paper bags could soon return to the LCBO following a request from Ontario’s premier.
In a letter to the CEO of the Crown corporation, Doug Ford says he wants “immediate steps” taken to reverse the reusable bag policy.
“That includes charging customers for reusable bags instead of the free paper bags that the LCBO previously offered. This change has left people stuck openly carrying alcohol in public when leaving a LCBO store.” In his letter, Ford said that people expect Crown corporations to “refrain from imposing additional and unnecessary burdens on them.”
“As a government, we are focused on making life easier, more convenient, and more affordable for the people of Ontario. The decision to remove paper bags has had the opposite effect.”
