P.E.I. e-gaming report from auditor general will shine 'light of day'
Premier ready to act on AG's e-gaming report
The results of an investigation into e-gaming by P.E.I.'s auditor general should be released in the next few months, and the province is ready to act on it, says Premier Wade MacLauchlan.
Auditor General Jane MacAdam has been reviewing the province's controversial attempt to get into e-gaming regulation at the premier's request.
The e-gaming initiative failed, and questions emerged on the ethics and openness of the whole project.
MacLauchlan told CBC News Tuesday the investigation's findings will be released in the new year.
"In the first quarter, or certainly in the first several months of 2016, that will all come out. It's in the right hands, in the auditor general's," he said.
"She'll take a very close, I'll call forensic, approach to this and we'll see it in the light of day and we'll see it with the considered opinion and advice of the auditor general, and we'll take that advice and act on it."
MacLauchlan expects positive changes will come from the auditor general's findings.
