Casino Moose Jaw: Saskatchewan Government

Saskatchewan government: The New Democrats say the government gave the Opposition a briefing on the sale on Thursday, but wouldn't provide a copy of the memorandum of understanding. The NDP says the government wanted the Opposition to agree to legislative changes this spring for the sale to go through, according to CTV. "And to fast-track, to be pressured to urgently pass legislation in violation of the Crown ownership act, that game's not on. I will not agree to do that. If this was the long-standing plan of this government, they needed to introduce that legislation in the fall sitting and then we'd be looking at it here in the spring sitting." - The Opposition has revealed plans by the Saskatchewan government to sell Casino Regina and Casino Moose Jaw to the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority. "Selling Crowns is an important matter because the benefits are for everyone in the province," Broten told reporters at the legislature Monday. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
