FASD - and labelling of alcoholic beverages

Kevin Lamoureux and I introduced Bill 206 last week. It provides for the labelling of alcoholic beverages with warning labels to indicate that consumption of alcohol during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. The bill also provides that notices with this information must also be placed in locations where liquor is sold.

Given the devastating lifelong consequences of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, this bill will provide a step in improving awareness and prevention.
