Source: AGCO (Ontario)
Ontario’s AGCO says inspectors can check grocery stores for compliance with liquor laws, including rules on sales to minors or intoxicated customers, trading hours and LCBO sourcing. Violations may lead to a warning, monetary penalty, suspension or licence revocation; a holder has 15 days to request a hearing before the Licence Appeal Tribunal after receiving a monetary penalty order.
Licensees face inspections and potential penalties, with a 15-day window to appeal a monetary penalty order.
