The federal Competition Bureau says it is studying the differences in the beer industry in Quebec and in Ontario, casting an eye on Ontario’s big-brewer-owned Beer Store.
A spokesman for the Competition Bureau said the watchdog is not launching an investigation or an enforcement action against the Beer Store, which has been called a “cartel” by the province’s convenience store industry as it lobbies for the lucrative right to sell beer itself.
