(2)

That a letter be sent to the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch advising that:

Given that there has been no history of non-compliance with the operation, the amendment to permit extended hours of liquor service under the Food Primary Liquor Licence should not change the establishment such that it is operated contrary to its primary purpose;
