this would the Province of Ontario
come within the meaning of section
152 of bill 25? That is the Province of
Ontario a Province "ill which there is
at the present time in force a law •pro-
hibiting the sale of, intoxicating liquor
for beverage purposes?"
Answer—The Province of Ontario
does' not come within the meaning 4F
section 152 of 13111 25. 1t cannot be
said that there is In force in Ont-
ario "a law prohibiting the Spee OT
intoxicating liquor for beverage pur-
poses." These words cannot be taken
to include Provinces in which there is'"
a law 'prohibiting only the partial •
"sale of intoxicating liquor." For
example, if Ontario Prohibited the
sale of brandy only, clearly the Pro-
vince would not conte within the
language of section 152. And Ire
tween this very limited prohibition
and one which extended to all in-
toxicating liquor with a slight excep-
tioh, there is no, point at which a hall
could be made.
Question 11.
• Would Bial 211, if brought Into force
as provided, prevent the short-cir-
cuiting" of liquor? That is, could
,•A" i. Toronto order from "6" in
Montreal, a certain brand of liquor
manufactured by "C':' in Toronto; could
"B" than purchase the liquor from "C"
and have it shipped direct from "C" to
"A" without the liquor which was or-
dered being sent ti ,Montreal : 14 then
back to Toronto?
Assuming that Bill 26 will not pre-
vent "short-eireuiting." has the Pilo•
vince the power to du•tltis?
Answer—Bill 26, even if applicable
to Ontario, would not prevent tine
"theirt-circuiting" of liquor. The pro-
hibitions of Bill 25 reiete (1) to the
lranspnrtatintt of liquor into the 4ti'ti-
vince, and (2) to the manufacture of
nr dealing with liquor t`to be unlaw•
W.I." taken into the Province. Neither
of these prohibitions touches the mak-
ing of a 501111551 in Montreal in respect
to liquor already in Ontario,
As already stated, the Province 'ha
no jurisdiction with reference So 1latei-
provinci:d traffic it has, 'however,
jurisdiction over the control of lignor
within the Province. 'fhe Legislature
could not, therefore, directly prohibit
transportation of liqur from Monh•e5I
into the Province. But it could pro-
hibit custody by any person of that, OT
any other liquor within the Province.
Question IR.
What is the exact meaning of the
words "import and ilinportation" as
used in Sections 152 and 154?
Answer—In Provincial legislation the
word "import" wotild, primarily meant
bringing into the Province fl•nnt any
place outside the Province, whether
from a foreign country or frnrn another
Province. In D7nininn legislation th•e
.primary sense fftf the word would be
bringing goods Into the Dominion, in
troth cases the context night warrant
the attachment of a secondary meaning,.
b'rt l see no resu'il for d l arlare from
the nrimary 10.0111115'.1 the word in the
sections referred.io.
Question IV.
Assio sing that. where ther,l is eon.
current jurisdiction of the Dominion
and Province., and overlapping 1e0slAt-
11011, the Dominion enactment is para..
mount, Then, whet would be the effect
of the provisions of Section 154 of 13',11
