VANCOUVER: The Consumers' Association calls on Solicitor General John Les to make public the minutes of The British Colombia Lottery Commission Board Meetings for the past year. "Consumers in BC have a right to know what went on," said President Bruce Cran. "Apart from recently passing the buck at dizzying speed, precisely what have the 8 Members of this Board been doing since October 2006?

All 8 members of the BCLC Board serve at the pleasure of the Solicitor General. "Where were they when BC needed them to be asking questions and protecting Lottery Players?" asked Cran. "If this Board has failed to act responsibly, The Solicitor General should conger up the intestinal fortitude to dismiss the Members and replace them without delay."
