5 options for the future of Sask. liquor stores

Nov 4, 2014 | 6:33 AM

The government is looking for the public’s help to decide the future of the province’s liquor stores.

On Tuesday morning, the province released an options paper, and launched a consultation process looking the public’s input on what option is best.

The paper lists five options for the province’s liquor stores:

-maintaining the current system
-expanding the private-retail system
-moving to an Alberta-style of fully privatized retail
-a transition to a fully private system
-expanding the government retail system

“These are the five broad models we would like the public to consider, recognizing that there are a lot of different delivery options within each model,” said Don McMorris, minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority.
