cp24's lindsay busk and joins us with the latest details. Lindsay, you've been at the encampment all evening. Have you noticed any movements? >> Not so much sijia at a couple people coming and which I think will be normal at this time of night. But for the most part, it's very quiet inside the this hour. And it doesn't seem as though there's much movement in terms of anyone leaving. And we know the students have said they're not happy with what the university has offered so far. So they have no intention of leaving, but they do have until 8:00am monday morning. So that trespass notice came out today, as you mentioned, but it's not until 8:00am monday morning that the students actually have to be vacated from this encampment. And the university has size it will any subsequent legal matters as well afterwards. So this all comes after the university offered such an offer to the students yesterday with a couple of different things that included an invitation for students to attend the university's business board of governing council meeting on june 19th to present their demands. It also included a working group to consider options for disclosure and greater transparency of investments. But the university did say it would not cutting any ties with israeli universities, which is one of the demands that the students wanted. The students also demanded the university to divest from direct and indirect investments that support israel. And it sounds as though from this offer, that's not what's going to but the university did see the table as I just said to maybe pursue, got down the road. That being said, we heard from students in this encampment today and they say that this offer is not enough, which is why they rejected. And they say they feel now they've been offered an all to with this notice of trespass. Have a listen. >> This confirmed with us that they're meeting with us at but that they're moving forward. The trespass at that's where we're at right you know, this trespass notice is the first of a much longer you know, these types of things, you know, they issue that trespass notice. And then you know, that starts at the wheels turning, but doesn't mean immediately. And the next you know, for 5 minutes that hundreds of cops are going to show up. There's lots of room between now and then. And we implore the administration to the right thing to be on the right side of history to divest from israeli apartheid these ongoing genocide. >> So all the signs that you see all this fencing that you see, this has been up for weeks now sijia and it looks as though it's going to remain, at least for the rest of this weekend, despite the snow to sign. Kevin. Organizers did say university administrators had also agreed to meet with them on sunday at 5:00pm for continued negotiations. Supper hops. They'll be able to come to some kind of settlement before 8:00am on monday morning. The students half as I said until 8:00am monday morning to pack up leaves will have to wait and see how this goes.

So there's multiple studies that show that the single most important lever that impacts the amount of alcohol consumed by a society is accessibility. And what we mean by that, we mean price. So the minimum price plus taxes. So the higher the price, the less consumed the hours of availability and the retail density. So you know, all those things are increasing at this point. And we know that that will have an impact in terms of consumption of alcohol. >> Earlier this month, a coalition of health organizations, including the canadian cancer society, the canadian mental health association and can aged released a letter calling for a comprehensive strategy to deal with increased alcohol consumption with what will come with the change it says harms linked to drinking cost the province more than 7 billion dollars a year.
