History
The AGCO was established February 23, 1998 by the Government of Ontario under the Alcohol and Gaming Regulation and Public Protection Act of 1996. This Act transferred responsibility for the Liquor Licence Act and the Gaming Control Act to AGCO. It was a result of the amalgamation of the Liquor License Board of Ontario and the Gaming Control Commission Ontario.
As a result of the establishment of the AGCO, the Government of Ontario passed complementary legislation to extinguish the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario and the Gaming Control Commission.
