They will be able to do so as of august 1st. And by the end of october, more big box stores will be allowed to sell the lower alcohol beverages like beer and wine. The sped-up plan is going cost taxpayers, though, to the tune of 225 million dollars to help out the beer store with the transition as well as to give a discount to convenience stores. And premier doug ford was asked whether speeding up the process is worth that big of a pay out. >> It's not going directly to the beer store's where it's going is to make sure that we protect the beer store employees to make sure they know they're going to be taken

care of. We're going to audit every single penny to make sure it's going in the right place. So it's not going into the breweries pockets or anything like that is going to the front line people and who we support to make sure the transition as we go through over the next few years. The beer store plays a critical role in recycling and distribution. And we're going make sure we protect employees. >> And some of the people we spoke to today support the expansion plan. >> I'm here for it easier. Yeah. >> That's all. I mean, we already have an industry so I think it's just it is a matter of comedians about. >> I mean, I I think that it's more so people are looking for can be is this time. So.

Careful about serving and selling, making sure that people are certified for selling alcohol product. >> Making sure that the alcohol is kept, you know, away from other areas, putting labels on alcohol to talk about you know, the harms from alcohol and then of course, you know, health promotion strategies. So we're really worried about violence and domestic violence, which is seeing increases. And we know how to link that is to alcohol. We're worried about duis. So we need, you know, health, we need health promotion, we need to, you know, talk up the harms of health so that people understand that better. Earlier this month, a coalition of health organizations, including the canadian cancer society, the canadian mental health association. >> And camh released a letter calling for a comprehensive strategy to deal with increased alcohol consumption. That will come with the change. It says harms linked to drinking cost the province more than 7 billion dollars a year. More than tobacco and opioids combined. Time now is just about 3:05 26 degrees out there. Let's get early look at the roads this afternoon with traffic specialist azalea hart. Hi leena. Yes ago only issue that we're seeing on the road really is the volume right now. But let's take a look at the cameras is that the northbound for 27 at the far wide. >> This is where we had a collision earlier and then that cleared. But now this bus is stalled, blocking the left lane. Cars are just trying to go around on the shoulder the right lane by it. Oftentimes when another bus passes, it blocks this lane here. So just be aware that if you're driving through this area here, traffic continues to build on your major routes. This is the westbound gardiner, of course 25 minutes at last check between lower sherbourne friend. Also on the eastbound gardiner, typical delays because of the closures. It's only to take 10 minutes, though, approaching parkside to stride. And then it opens it back up over on to the dvp northbound. It starts at pottery road to york. Mills expect the stretch to take about 35 but it is pretty heavy right now on the main roads out of camera view kingston road at pickering street, al east and westbound lanes are closed due to a police investigation and dufferin street at st. Clair west. One left lane is blocked due to a collision that set back to you. Leena thank you's alea.

land near the collegeway and glen erin drive in may. 2021 25 year old naeem aquil was killed in the opening address in brampton this week. Crown attorney david diorio said tackle was planning that hurt others in the group in so they decided to kill him and his family the not solomon reza and net cash abassi are all charged with one count of murder and 5 counts of attempted murder. The charges have not been proven in court testimony continues today. Keep it here on cp24. As we follow this breaking news story. The university of toronto was given pro-palestinian protesters 24 hours to consider its latest offer and is asking that they leave the encampment cp24 steve ryan is at u of t has been there all day and he joins us live with the latest as the clock ticks down. Steve. >> Know, told by organizers that there are approx, 175 tents set up here at king's college, a circle. As you said, these districts have been here since may. The second many of them are u of t student summer from the outside and they've set up camp here. King's college circle and they about to remain here until 2. A big demands. Our matt and they're asking the university to number one, the schools there relationship with israel a number to best in any business interests the university might have with israeli company excuse me, yesterday was to the latest when the university faculty met with the some of the student demonstrators and the put forward a proposal and the proposal was that they would have they being some of the demonstrators would have. At the table for any future investment that the school might have. But the school did say that they're not cutting ties with israeli schools and they allowed the demonstrators to be at the table for any future investment. If. Demonstrators leave this location behind me yesterday at 4:00pm university put out a statement saying that the students had the 24 hours to vacate that premise. And if they didn't after the 24 period, they would be considered a trespassing. That email was sent to 4:00pm yesterday. So the demonstrators have said today that they believe 4:00pm today is the deadline when they have to during a press conference earlier on, they would not say whether or not they're planning to leave by 4:00pm, but they were expected to be approached by campus security here. The special constables here for the university of toronto and to be advised at 4:00pm that they were in fact, trespassing. All talk about the process with regard to the trespass to property act and the police on the other side of this clip here is reaction from one of the student demonstrators we heard from earlier today. I >> Though the university's leadership has completely abandoned their moral duty to uphold human rights. And dignity. We will continue doing everything we can to drag this institution into meeting its obligation to students and to the world. Just as every generation of student protests has. >> So the demonstrators do not seem to be very pleased with the proposal put forward by the u of t and when it comes to the tresspassing. So as of 4:00, if the letter is truthful in what the university has said of those people on grounds will be trespassing, would expect to happen is they'll be advised that there are no trespassing. Apple opportunity to leave most likely a period of time will pass before a law enforcement will come back into the tickets. A summons with $1000 maximum fine and will be asked again to leave if they refuse at that point in time. During the course of the next few days, perhaps then the toronto police may get involved and they will use force if necessary to remove people because it arrest authority under the trespass to property act were the police can physically remove you really shoe on what's called a part 3 summons to provincial court and could be a maximum of $10,000 in fines. But this is a slow process because if the police are called it and it had to be called in by the university of toronto because it is their property. If the police are called in on want to make sure that people had every opportunity to vacate before they actually go to arrest people because any time you apply force, people can get hurt. And that's something that the police do not want to happen. They'll try to de-escalate this as much as possible. Make sure people have been given ample opportunity, ample opportunity to understand the consequences if they remain at the ticket, doesn't work. The next step will be arrest. So thank you for right, steve, thanks so much for this. >> The federal government is providing more insight into why it rejected toronto's request to decriminalize possession of illegal drugs. Addictions minister ya'ara saks says the proposal did not include age restrictions or limit the amount of drugs a person could have. She says the plan left her with deep concerns. The minister says she decided to deny it after toronto refused to amend the proposal to address concerns from her department. The application sought to decriminalize possession of all controlled drugs and substances for personal use. And premier doug ford was asked about the federal government denying toronto's requested decriminalize drugs for personal use.

>> As long as I'm premier, we're never going to decriminalize hardcore drugs. What I believe in, we need more detox centres. We need more rehab rehabilitation centres, but we sure the heck don't need people shooting up and doing drugs in neighbourhoods like mississauga were anywhere and that sun in ontario. >> Meantime, the federal government says it's open to adding more medications to the list of drugs covered by its proposed pharmacare program.
