It is common knowledge that the BCLDB in its current form does not effectively or efficiently serve the public interest in terms of tax collection, public saftey, and servicing wholesale and retail customers. The BCLDB should be reformed to a truly competitive model where the rules are the same for every re-seller of liquor in the province of British Columbia, and those that serve the customer and public saftey the best are those that have a chance to prosper.

The BCLDB is an infantile anachronism from a surely long gone and embarrassingly unenlightened and prissy era. It needs to be gone. Completely.

The choice for consumers in BC should not be left to a few government employees. It is the realm of free enterprise.

It is time that the government get out of the very same business that they monitor and control. It is impossible to do both without a serious conflict of interests.
The Government should also not be permitted to decide what type of business gets to pay better or worse wholesale prices. Either have the same wholesale price for all, or let licencees negotiate the price, as in most of the Western world!

The government has no mandate to be in the retail business of alcoholic beverages, and certainly should not be in the position of supplier, regulator and competitor to the private sector. It operates inefficiently and carries the same product selection in all of its stores. I want greater selection and a healthy competitive marketplace where products are not chosen by only a few individuals.

The "liberal" liquor market in BC is unfair!
Why LRS gets only 16% discount when Wine only get 30% and VQA 40% ... and don't pay their stock?
Why BCLDB is warehouse and retail?
Why BCLDB decide to sell some restricted products in their store when private market sell a lot or BCLDB store manager wants to?
Why do BCLDB has priority on warehouse stock?
Why can they sell to customer a case of restricted?
...
Why they pay their people more than anybody else and give LRS only 16% discount .. and no discount to restaurant?
All that market is not liberal at all!
