  "The market at the moment is absolutely saturated," says Dave Crown, president of the Alliance of Beverage Licensees (ABLE) BC."When the government did the 90-degree turn and decided not to privatize, they committed to give us the niche market- and in the union agreement it was supposed to close 30 government liquor stores.So far, they have only closed eight stores."
  
  Crown adds that bylaws in Vancouver have made it very difficult for companies to open a liquor store in the city, costing some of his members thousands of dollars in failed applications.While existing private liquor stores are allowed to sell beer, wine and spirits, a new store cannot sell spirits.The only exception to this rule is if a private company moves into a store where the development permit already exists, as is the case at Granville and 10th.The move has allowed the Granville Liquor Store to jump over retailers fighting for applications, and is the reason why there has been no public consultation on the opening of the store.
  
  Despite the battle, Crown still believes government liquor stores will soon be a thing of the past."As time goes on, they're probably going to be redundant anyway," he says, "but a lot of our members' problems are if they can hold on for that time."¼

  In a letter addressed to the premier (which was obtained by Public Eye via a freedom of information request) the then president of the Alliance of Beverage Licensees, David Crown, informed "Gordon" his group was concerned "with the direction of government with regard to our industry."
  
  "I have now had the opportunity to have several meetings with Minister (John) Les, and it is most apparent there is no appetite on his part to implement the initiatives that were promised us from Minister (Rich) Coleman" - Minister Les's predecessor.
  
  Specifically, Mr. Crown referred to an anticipated three percentage point increase in the discount those stores receive when purchasing alcohol from the government - something he thought "would be achieved by November 2005."
  ...
  Prior to Mr. Crown's letter being sent, a draft briefing note prepared by the province's liquor distribution branch and dated Sept. 19, 2005, stated "government will continue to review options to improve liquor pricing policies, but has no plans for further changes at this time."

  The following is a complete copy of the letter sent by Mr. Crown to Premier Campbell.

  Dave Crown, President of the Alliance of Beverage Licensees of BC and owner of the Lennox Pub downtown, says this is ridiculous."It is not illegal.It is patron to patron", says Crown.The drinking establishments don't profit from it.We think it's a very petty issue, and we're hopefull it'll just go away."Gambling in B.C. is only alloweed with a provincial license, but Super Bowl pools fall in a grey area since they could be considered private bets.Pub owners say the province makes money when they offer Keno, Sports Action, and pull tab tickets, so it's hypocritical to crack down on these pools.Crown says every pub should feel free to do it, especially on Super Bowl Sunday.

  And assurances, according to Dave Crown, president of the B.C. Liquor Licensee and Retailers Association, premier Gordon Campbell's now infamous life-threatening indiscretion while on vacation in Hawaii will have little effect on the booze industry's support for the premier and the B.C. Liberal Party.
