SASKATOON – Liquor regulations that Saskatchewan’s food and beverage industry has called outdated are going to be reviewed to help eliminate red tape.
Enterprise Saskatchewan, an agency set up by the province to eliminate barriers to growth, will undertake the review.
Liquor and Gaming Minister Tim McMillan says a questionnaire has been sent out to the industry and the government is working through suggestions to improve the system.

McMillan says while restaurateurs have been seen as distributors of alcohol, the long-standing policy has been that they purchase spirits at the same price as anyone else in Saskatchewan.
