部分原文報道如下:
Ontario will sell off 60 per cent of electricity utility Hydro One to the private sector, allow 450 grocery stores across the province to sell beer and impose a new tax on the beverage.
Ms. Wynne put significantly more emphasis Thursday on the beer retail reforms, which are expected to be more popular than the Hydro One sell-off. As she made the announcement in a conference room at a government office building, she stood before a massive sign touting beer in grocery stores.
“The Beer Store has grown into a de facto monopoly, controlled by a very small numbers of companies. This system has stifled competition, it's kept craft and small brewers from growing and it's limited the consumer experience,” she said. “When it comes to the sale of beer in Ontario, I'm here to announce that the status quo is over and the days of monopoly are done.”
