Visitor centres need to be privatized, says minister

Business minister Mark Furey told a post cabinet scrum in Halifax Thursday that provincially operated visitor information centres in Nova Scotia will be privatized. When asked by a CBC reporter whether the VICs might be turned over to private operators, Furey said "I think we have to."

The McNeil government has endured much criticism over its closure of three major visitor centres last year and over fears that the remaining six centres would see the same fate.
