– a national alcohol strategy– a national treatment strategy– a national youth drug prevention
strategy– national workforce competencies– a national prescription drug misuse
strategy

Structure of alcohol control policy
• Authority for alcohol control policies is mainly located at the provincial and territorial level (exceptions: federal excise taxes and criminal drinking and driving laws).
• All provinces and territories maintain government control of wholesale alcohol sales, and in all but Alberta government liquor authorities are the dominant retailers through government owned and operated liquor stores.

Challenges & opportunities of multi-sectoral collaboration on alcohol
• Differing perspective and viewpoints can at times make consensus challenging to achieve
• Some topics (e.g., alcohol pricing) are more controversial than others
• Cross-sectoral consensus decision making leads naturally to “win-win” policies (e.g., minimum social reference pricing)
• Once recommendations are agreed to, then all are theoretically “on board” and can be held to the decisions
![Page 27: Canadian Alcohol Control Policy](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062815/56816931550346895de08147/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
www.ccsa.ca • www.cclt.ca 27
Opportunities & challenges (cont.)
• Consensus recommendations are now informing provincial level policymaking with items that have been through the multi-sectoral “sausage grinder”
• Identifying and securing resources for implementation of recommendations and projects is an ongoing challenge
