Privatizing BC's Liquor Distribution Branch

Liquor Distribution.jpg
There were a few surprises in yesterday's budget. One is a plan to privatize the BC liquor distribution branch. There are two warehouses, one in Vancouver and one in Kamloops.

Together they employ about 400 people.




Finance Minister Kevin Falcon says the sell-off will fetch 700 million dollars for the province over the next three years.

Rebecca spoke with Darryl Walker. He's the President of the BC Government and Service Employees' Union.
