The Ontario PC Party is demanding the Ontario government suspend its deal with Great Canadian Gaming Corporation to run casinos in Toronto to investigate alleged industry money laundering in one of the firm’s casinos in BC. PC Finance Critic Vic Fedeli spoke about hockey duffel bags full of $20 dollar bills that allegedly went through the Great Canadian Gaming’s River Rock Casino in 2015. The total accepted was $13.5 million. “We are calling on Premier Wynne to step in and halt this deal in Ontario immediately,” said Fedeli at Queen’s Park Monday. In August, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) announced Great Canadian Gaming Corporation and Brookfield Business Partners LP were chosen to run three casinos in the GTA — OLG Slots at Woodbine, OLG Slots at Ajax Downs and the Great Blue Heron Casino.But then in September, B.C. Attorney General David Eby, concerned about money laundering, announced the government was launching an independent review of the gambling industry and its
policies.
