Fiscal year 2012/13 has been an exciting year on many fronts. In April 2012, the Province of Manitoba announced the amalgamation of the MLCC with Manitoba Lotteries to form the new Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries Corporation. Shortly after this announcement, a new Board of Directors was appointed to oversee both organizations and their integration. Over the past year, much work has been done and many milestones achieved in respect to the merger. Based on recommendations made in a third-party report we successfully began integrating the operations of both Crowns, starting with the development of a new organizational structure, as well as formulating a unified strategic direction. At the same time, an integration team was established to continue guiding us through the many complex activities surrounding the union of two large organizations. Currently, legislation is in process for the new Crown corporation and is anticipated to come into effect in late 2013. Once enacted, the Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries Corporation will be responsible for both beverage alcohol and lottery/gaming products. Also in process are legislative amendments that will combine the regulatory function of the MLCC with the Manitoba Gaming Control Commission. The amalgamation of these two bodies will create a single regulatory organization for gaming and beverage alcohol called the Liquor and Gaming Authority of Manitoba. Amid all of the activities surrounding the merger, the MLCC can take pride in returning a net profit to the Provincial Government, while continuing to provide outstanding service to our customers. The success of this past year could not have happened without the efforts and teamwork of everyone at the MLCC. In closing, I, along with my fellow board members, would like to express my appreciation to President & CEO Winston Hodgins and the executive team for their leadership and commitment. Thanks as well to the employees of both the MLCC and Manitoba Lotteries Corporation for their continued hard work and dedication as we work towards merging our organizations. Together, we can ensure that the new Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries Corporation is an important contributor to both the government and people of Manitoba for many more years to come.
