The Nova Scotia government put the regional lottery corporation under further scrutiny Friday when it called for a performance review of the head of the embattled agency.
Angus MacIsaac, the minister responsible for the Gaming Control Act, said he sent a letter to the provincial gaming corporation asking the Atlantic Lottery Corp. to conduct an evaluation of its CEO, Michelle Carinci.
MacIsaac said he became alarmed earlier this week when Carinci appeared at a public accounts committee to face questions about the corporation’s procurement policies and the number of retailers who win cash prizes.
The minister said he was struck by Carinci’s apparent lack of concern for what he called “obvious problems” at the corporation.
“There might not have been the level of understanding of the concerns Nova Scotians have and I have asked the board to evaluate whether that level of concern is there,” he said in an interview.
“This is a matter of re-establishing Nova Scotians’ confidence in the Atlantic Lotto Corp.”
