Finance Minister Kevin Falcon: Falcon

B.C. Liberals Dept: The initial notion, announced by Falcon himself as part of a projected multi-million-dollar asset sale in the February budget, was for the B.C. Liberals to start by calling for bids on the liquor warehouses in Kamloops and Vancouver and accompanying real estate, according to Vancouver Sun. The companies that are looking at operating the distribution network will almost certainly have their own ideas on how they are going to manage the business that will be different from how the government manages the business, as Falcon explained it Thursday in a telephone interview and vICTORIA - Finance Minister Kevin Falcon still expects the government will realize cash up front from the drive to privatize liquor distribution, though the plan has changed considerably over the past few months. But those assets were extricated from the current round of bidding on liquor distribution after the B.C. Liberals concluded that would-be private operators were probably not prepared to pay top dollar. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
