In a news release from last week, Premier Tim Houston said that the province had already paid for the products and they shouldn't go to waste, though there were no plans to reorder inventory from the U.S. once this stockpile has been sold. 

The province says the current inventory of U.S. alcohol is worth about $14 million, and will return about $4 million to the province once expenses are deducted. 

The government will donate roughly $4 million to Feed Nova Scotia and other food-related charities in the coming weeks, the release said. 

Nova Scotia liquor stores originally pulled American booze from their shelves this spring in response to tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.
