Se­nior Mul­ti­me­dia Re­porter

Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar’s an­nounce­ment to in­crease the le­gal age lim­it for al­co­hol con­sump­tion, gam­bling, and mar­i­jua­na use has sparked con­cerns from the Own­ers Deal­ers As­so­ci­a­tion (ODA), which is call­ing for clar­i­ty on how the change will im­pact hir­ing laws and en­force­ment prac­tices.
