Despite what the NDP and their union friends are saying, our liquor retail modernization plan is revenue neutral to government and introduces more choice and convenience for consumers.
Private liquor stores have already proven to be highly successful and popular in both Regina and Saskatoon and we have heard through consultations that the public wants more choice.
The Saskatchewan Government and General Employees Union (SGEU), however, is trying to thwart any modernization by running misleading ads saying our plan to convert 40 government liquor stores to private stores and add 12 new private liquor stores will cost the government millions. They are wrong.
