Keep Liquor Sales Public - So We All Benefit
The government has been steadily eroding public liquor sales in Saskatchewan:
- New private liquor stores are opening, two in Regina and two in Saskatoon.
- Four public stores in small towns have been closed – the business handed to private retailers.
- Government has pledged that all new stores will be private.
Why risk losing the benefits of public liquor sales?
Public liquor sales return huge profits to Saskatchewan people - $252.3 million last year, and over $1.1 billion in the last five years. That’s money that can be used to fund services we all care about, like hospitals, schools, highways, provincial parks, and long-term care homes.
Why would we want to turn that money over to a small handful of private owners and shareholders?
