To: [your MLA’s email address]
Copy to: David.eby.mla@leg.bc.ca AG.Minister@gov.bc.ca
Subject: #FreeTheWhisky
Dear Honourable [insert name]: In April 2018 the Government of B.C. received the Hicken Report, which contained recommendations on reforming B.C.’s liquor laws, including:
“Hospitality licensees should not be restricted to buying their liquor products from government retail stores. Such licensees should be able to buy from any licensed source in BC including private retailers.”
“Hospitality licensees (restaurants/bars/hotels) should be sold liquor products at a proper wholesale price, as they are in other jurisdictions.”
When will the B.C. Government move forward on these recommendations, as well as others, and correct the BCLDB’s anti-competitive practices?
