Privatization comes to Ontario
December 17, 2009
On Tuesday December 14, the Government of Ontario announced a plan to privatize, in whole or in part, some of its Crown corporations (i.e. state owned enterprises). The prime candidates for privatization include HydroOne (owns and operates the electricity transmission infrastructure), the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (licenses liquor retail outlets and operates its own retail chain) the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (regulates and partners with licensed gaming facilities in Ontario).
