Beer Freedom in the Supreme Court: Gérard Comeau’s factum filed in R. v. Comeau

Calgary, Alberta – Today, the factum of Respondent, Gérard Comeau, was filed in the Supreme Court of Canada in the case of R. v. Comeau. Mr. Comeau’s argument is summed up in the factum’s concluding paragraph:

This would release enormous economic potential that would benefit Canadians and Canada for generations to come.”
