Return To Written Question 69-15(3): Consumption Of Alcohol

Speaker: Mr. Mercer

Mr. Speaker, I have a return to written question asked by Mr. Yakeleya on February 11, 2005, regarding consumption of alcohol.

The GNWT does not directly track consumption of alcoholic beverages by Northwest Territories residents. The Northwest Territories Liquor Commission tracks sales of alcoholic beverages made by liquor outlets in the Northwest Territories. The data provided is for the 2003-04 fiscal year, the latest complete fiscal year for which data is available.

Total sales of alcoholic beverages in the Northwest Territories were 388,000 litres of spirits, 261,000 litres of wine, 3.582 million litres of beer, and 208,000 litres of coolers, for a total of 4.439 million litres.

Total sales of alcoholic beverages for the Sahtu region, based on sales from the Norman Wells liquor stores, were 20,000 litres of spirits, 6,000 litres of wine, 179,000 litres of beer, and 7,000 litres of coolers, for a total of 212,000 litres.

The total net revenues from the sale of alcoholic beverages were $988,000 from the Sahtu region and $19.871 million for the Northwest Territories as a whole. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
