The Ford government's top adviser on reforming alcohol sales will soon hand over his recommendations, and CBC News obtained some insights into his thinking in an interview. The Ford government has 'no interest' in selling off the LCBO, Hughes says, but he is considering privatizing alcohol distribution. Distribution is a hidden but potentially lucrative part of the alcohol sales system in Ontario. "It doesn't have to be the LCBO and it doesn't have to be the Beer Store that's doing that distribution." Negotiations between the government and The Beer Store on changing the agreement continue.
