A spokesperson for Alberta Finance Minister Joe Ceci says the government is "still reviewing the decision" and will have more to say in the coming days after a panel ruled late last week that the controversial beer tax put in place by Rachel Notley's government violates the province's free trade obligations under Canada's Agreement on Internal Trade.

Owners of a Calgary-based beer importing company say changes to provincial beer taxation have destroyed their business.

Different laws and regulations across the country have been criticized for creating interprovincial trade barriers that affects local businesses looking to expand beyond provincial borders.

Industry Minister James Moore is putting the heat on provincial leaders to eliminate the trade barriers he blames for preventing goods made in one province from making it to store shelves in another.
