The NDP's Economic Development Critic is calling on the Province to make border towns more competitive.
Howard Hampton wants the government to reduce the liquor control board's mark up on liquor sold by duty-free stores.
"This has been done in some of the other provinces like B.C.," says Hampton. "They really reduced the mark up on liquor sold at the duty-frees stores there and it made a big difference. It would help to reinvigorate some of the businesses in our border town and help bring back some of the shoppers from Minnesota."
The Kenora-Rainy River MPP says the mark up of 50 per cent should be dropped to 30.
