Who issues Liquor Sales Licences in Ontario?

The government of Canada
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario
Local municipalities
Licensed establishments

The correct answer is: The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario

The correct answer is the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). This body is responsible for regulating and overseeing the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages in the province. The AGCO ensures that all establishments that wish to sell liquor comply with the laws and regulations set forth by the province, promoting responsible alcohol consumption and ensuring public safety within licensed environments. Other entities, such as the government of Canada, local municipalities, and licensed establishments themselves, do not have the authority to issue liquor sales licenses. The federal government’s role is more about overarching laws regarding alcohol, while municipalities may have specific regulations and bylaws concerning operations but do not issue the licenses directly. Licensed establishments can hold a license but do not issue them to themselves or others.
