In Thursday’s throne speech, the province announced that beginning in late May the province will introduce what will likely become year-round Sunday shopping in P.E.I.
At Province House Friday, Development Minister Mike Currie, who is responsible for the Liquor Control Commission, said he could see a handful of liquor stores in key locations across the province also opening their doors on Sundays.
But Currie said the final decision does not lie with the province — it lies with the commission.
