The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), the government agency mandated under provincial law to conduct and manage gaming sites, has recently issued a request for information regarding the establishment of a number of new gaming sites across Ontario, including a new casino in the Greater Toronto Area. On June 1, 2012, the rules for establishing new gaming sites in Ontario became effective as Ontario Regulation 81/12, Requirements for Establishing a Gaming Site (the New Regulation), came into force following enactment by the Lieutenant Governor in Council (the Provincial Cabinet) under the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation Act, 1999 (the Act).

The process for establishing a gaming site under the New Regulation differs substantially from the process for establishing a casino under the prior regime set out in Regulation 347/00 (the Old Regulation), which was repealed on June 1, 2012 (and which was described in our March 2012 Blakes Bulletin on Gaming).

Manitoba Expanding Land Transfer Tax To Beneficial Transfers

Effective January 1, 2027, Manitoba is expanding its land transfer tax regime to apply to beneficial (unregistered) transfers of land, even where legal (registered) title is not being transferred. The amendments bring Manitoba’s regime more closely in line with Ontario’s and Quebec’s current regimes and will affect transactions involving bare trusts, nominees and other ownership structures that separate legal and beneficial ownership of land.
