> WHAT CLARK RECOMMENDED

Ed Clark, head of the premier’s advisory council on government assets, has made some key recommendations to boost revenues for the treasury:

Sell up to 60 per cent of Hydro One, starting with an initial public offering of 15 per cent, to bankroll new public transit infrastructure.

Allow the sale of beer in 450 of Ontario’s 1,500 supermarkets.

Enable 9,000 small licensees to buy beer at the same lower price for their bars and restaurants as ordinary consumers, ending the practice of them paying a premium at the Beer Store.

Permit the sale of 12-packs at some LCBO outlets.

Force the foreign-owned Beer Store to devote at least 20 per cent of its shelf space and well as merchandising and marketing programs to Ontario craft beers.
