The Ontario Restaurant Hotel & Motel Association (ORHMA) rejected a proposal by the provincial government to allow the City of Toronto to implement a municipal liquor tax, and called on the government to revoke the proposal from Bill 53: Stronger City of Toronto for a Stronger Ontario Act.  The Government went ahead and passed the so called City of Toronto Act.  The ORHMA continues to advocate to the provincial government on behalf of the Hospitality industry to have the Act revoked.  

The ORHMA brought this concern to newly elected Mayor Rob Ford during his election route.  This issue will have a severe impact to the industry.
