5:42pm- Michael Harris, Kitchener-Conestoga MPP, Re: Ontario’s Liberal government has reached transition funding agreements with four more racetracks to replace its cancelled revenue sharing slot machine program. Premier Kathleen Wynne announced the agreements today during a visit to Grand River Raceway in Elora. The government reached two-year agreements in January with the Woodbine Entertainment Group for the Woodbine and Mohawk racetracks. The Liberals shocked the sector last year when they cancelled the $345 million a year share of slot machine revenues that went to tracks, prompting several tracks to close or announce plans to close. A government panel concluded the slot revenue accounted for 64 per cent of the annual income for the horse racing sector in Ontario, and more than 60 per cent of purse money.
