The review also aimed to improve laws related to the possession, consumption, sale and purchase, manufacture, importation, and distribution of liquor in the NWT.
Minister of Finance Caroline Wawzonek is hosting online engagement sessions to talk to NWT residents about the GNWT’s budget.

Sessions will be held on:
