Mr. Quentin Bevan, Chairman PEI Liquor Control Commission PO Box 967 Charlottetown, PE C1A 7M4

Dear Mr. Bevan:

It is my pleasure to report that fiscal 2018-2019 represented the 23 RD consecutive year of record sales and returns to Government and the people of Prince Edward Island. Sales increased by more than $2.9 million to over $116.9 million. Payments to the Province were $42.6 million and we are pleased to state that the PEI Liquor Control Commission continues to be a socially responsible retailer as well as major revenue generator for the Province. I wish to thank all staff for their valuable contributions as well as the support of our customers and suppliers which enabled the Commission to have another successful year. Our strategic plan has served us well as we continue to invest in people, stores, efficiencies and technologies. As a result of these investments, sales and profitability continue to set record levels. I would like to extend my appreciation to our Board of Commissioners for their ongoing support and guidance and as well acknowledge the commitment and leadership of the Executive Management Team. The Commission will continue to move forward in several areas including: improved customer service, enhanced product selection, staff development and training, improved technology, and modernization of The Liquor Control Act and Regulations while optimizing profitability.

Yours truly,

James C. MacLeod Acting Chief Executive Officer
