Description
Organizational Overview
In British Columbia, there are two branches of government that are responsible for regulating and monitoring the liquor industry: the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) and the Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB). The LCLB issues licences for making and selling liquor and supervises the service of liquor in licensed establishments. To learn more about the LCLB, visit their Web site at www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/lclb or check LCLB licensing regulations at http://www.qp.gov.bc.ca/statreg/reg/L/LiquorControl/244_2002.htm.
The LDB, under the authority of the Liquor Distribution Act, has the sole right to purchase beverage alcohol, both in and out of British Columbia, in accordance with the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act (Canada). The LDB is responsible for the importation, distribution and retailing of beverage alcohol in British Columbia and operates government liquor stores and distribution centres in the province. The LDB is also responsible for the appointment of private retail agency stores.
The Liquor Distribution Act specifies that the minister must appoint a general manager and that the general manager is responsible for administering the act, including the general control, management and supervision of liquor stores, subject to the orders, directions and supervision of the minister. The act further clarifies the powers of the general manager and delineates the administration of the LDB and the operation of its liquor stores.
