The entire board of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation has been replaced and the C-E-O fired.
Finance Minister Dwight Duncan told a news conference C-E-O Kelly McDougald was “dismissed with cause” and, as a result, will not receive severance.
The firings follow news of controversial expenses by executives at the Lottery and Gaming corporation.
Conservative leader Tim Hudak tells Bayshore Broadcasting News heads should be rolling in the Liberal cabinet at Queens Park.
Hudak calls for David Caplan to resign, and he says the Premier needs to set a tone that he won’t put up with these kinds of messes.
New Democrat Michael Prue says the government made the move because it knew a scandal was brewing.
Prue tells Bayshore Broadcasting News the government is running scared because of freedom of information requests being made by the Opposition parties.
He says the government is uncovering horror stories, it should have been aware of before the requests were made.
