CGA boss Paul Burns on the week that was at the Canadian Gaming Summit

The Canadian Gaming Summit ended last Thursday but not before delivering some news, a new name (to be henceforth known as SBC Summit Canada), some new partnerships and some new friends before some 3,000-plus weary members of the gambling industry boarding planes, trains, buses, Ubers and other automobiles to head home. Before he could take his leave from the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Canadian Gaming Association boss Paul Burns kindly lent your humble host a seat inside the CGA Members Lounge and agreed to give us his thoughts and layers for a new episode of the Gaming News Canada Show at the end of three days of meetings, panels, speeches from political types representing the provincial governments of both Alberta and Ontario, and other happenings during the summit. Included were, as Dave Briggs wrote in last Friday’s newsletter, comments from the Attorney General of Ontario, Doug Downey, that the province will be “aggressively” going after operators who have given the one-finger salute to getting their licence, and news from the province’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming, Stan Cho, that his office will be reviewing the legal gambling industry – now three-plus years old. Burns also weighed in on the comments from Alberta minister Dale Nally during the summit on the road to regulation in the western Canada province.
