Canadian Control Plan 1a Draws Debate in Legislature
Debate over repeal and possible taxes or regulation of liquor and saloons continues as legislators weigh letting voters decide repeal alone or adding police powers. Butcher opposes writing regulatory powers into the constitution and favors leaving regulation to future laws. Some support taxation and regulation to keep saloons out, others want strong assurances that old drinking places won’t return. Compromise, needed to advance repeal, hinges on two-thirds legislative approval before sending to the senate.
