"Hi, I'm Ed from the government and I'm here to help you..." Privatization czar Ed Clark to meet with big brewers on future of The Beer Store 

Ed Clark, Premier Kathleen Wynne’s privatization czar, will soon meet with brass at the major breweries to discuss the future of the Beer Store, the Star has learned.

But officials with Labatt, Molson, and Sleeman might want to bring their chequebooks as Clark has already warned them that Queen’s Park is expecting a “franchise fee” — among other concessions — if the 448-outlet private monopoly is to remain intact.
