Liquor Retail Needs Reform
"In my lifetime--I'm 52--will I ever see wine or beer for sale in grocery stores?" Premier Brad Wall was asked recently on a radio call-in show. "No" was the answer. Wall will stick to his election promise to keep the crowns in public hands. This means the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) will continue its wholesale and retail operations. Even so, Wall acknowledged this mandate still leaves plenty of room for change, and he was all ears for suggestions.- Saturday, August 2, 2008
