Merger
The 2012 Provincial budget announced a plan to merge the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission with Manitoba Lotteries, to form the Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Commission. The merger is expected to save approximately $300,000 by moving to a single CEO and board of directors. The process is expected to take a year to complete, once an independent consultant is hired to review both corporations.
In September 2012, the province held public consultations in six communities to discuss the merger: Arborg, Thompson, The Pas, Brandon, Winkler and Winnipeg.
