Discussion aimed at expanding IGR authority

Representatives from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority and Indigenous Gaming Regulators are entering into discussions aimed at expanding the regulatory authority of IGR to include the registration of on-reserve charitable gaming employees and suppliers. “Providing IGR with additional regulatory authority is the next step under the terms of the Gaming Framework Agreement,” said the minister responsible for SLGA, Donna Harpauer, in a news release. “SLGA will continue to work with IGR to ensure the effective regulation of on-reserve charitable gaming.” The registration process includes criminal and financial background checks on individuals and suppliers to  help ensure the overall integrity of the gaming industry.  All gaming registrations are currently handled by SLGA.
