Conforming Measures. Nova Scotia’s differential floor pr icing mechanism for out-of-province beer (and the reciprocal treatment of Nova Scotia beer by other provinces and territories) should have been reviewed July 1, 1996. Increases in the price of Nova Scotia beer have narrowed the price differential in favour of Nova Scotia beer, but a pr ice differential still persists. Discussions are still ongoing between New Brunswick and Ontario over the technical barriers Moosehead Brewery faces in the Ontario market (see box). If New Brunswick is not satisfied, it has the right to impo se a different ial cost of service, fees, or other charges on any other pro ▇▇▇▇▇ or t erritory that levies higher costs on its beer. Quebec has also reserved the right to impose differential costs on New Brunswick beer if New Brunswick imposes higher costs on Quebec beer. So far New Brunswick has not imposed higher cost s, but the threat remains in effect until the issue is resolved. Quebec has ret ained its requirement that wine sold in grocery stores be bot tled in the pro ▇▇▇▇▇. It is concerned that opening up grocery sto res to wine fr om other pr ovinces would require a similar opening for American and European wine because of Canada’s international trade obligat ions. But it had agreed to negot iate with British Co lumbia equivalent access for wine and wine products of the other province by July 1, 1996. So far no agreement has been reached. British Columbia in turn has reserved the right to apply reciprocal measures to Quebec wine. Surprisingly, given the larger size of its wine industry and its proximity to Quebec, Ontario has expressed no reservation. Other non-conforming measures related to beer sold in Newfoundland and Newfoundland- produced beer, and the timetable for the progressive elimination of mark-up differentials for wine produced with Canadian grapes remain in effect. Exceptions allowing Ontario and British Columbia to cont inue distribution policies that discriminate in favour of their own wines also remain in place.
