Hi Paul,
Congratulations to your province for opening it's gaming laws. Can you give me any details regarding the gaming act and how the new law reads. Ontario is still in the dark regarding charity events. I want to send your new gaming law to our Ontario Attorney General to have ours modified.
Thanks Michel
