Table 5—Online Service and auto-renewal

The following table shows the percentage of licences, registration and authorizations in regulated sectors that were automatically renewed, further contributing to a streamlined process and reduced burden.

2022–23

Gaming registration auto-renewals

Horse Racing auto-renewals

44%

63%

Liquor licences auto-renewals

43%

Cannabis auto-renewals

68%

Note: Cannabis renewals significantly increased in 2022-23 due to the increased number of cannabis retail stores in the province. This resulted in an increased total number of renewals flagged by AGCO’s eligibility criteria, disqualifying them from auto-renewal and decreasing the percentage of cannabis auto-renewals.
