- ongoing discussions with various ministries as it relates to the impact of the casino closures to our business; eg: temporary job losses, loss of revenue to municipal governments, and 100% loss of revenue but continued expense payments. Asks could include assistance in implementing our reopening plans

Ask is to ensure that restaurant outlets are recognized as separate from casinos and are part of the Provinces’ restaurant re-opening plans
