Tuesday’s federal budget didn’t get the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce fired up one way or another.

“Nothing to get overly upset about,” executive director Dan Rogers said Wednesday. “Nothing to get overly excited about.”

There was one item, however, buried deep in the massive document that piqued the chamber’s interest, and it has to do with interprovincial trade.

It’s a hot topic in the Okanagan due to the impact the current restrictive regulations have on the wine and spirits industry.

The Liberals intend to remove federal requirements that called for alcohol moving from one province to another to be sold to the liquor control board. It’s a small step towards interprovincial trade, but Rogers said at least it’s a step in the right direction.
