Single-Event Sports Wagering Bill C290

Hear from a coalition of business, community and labour organizations on why the Senate needs to take action and pass Bill C290.

Each year, Canadians are wagering over $4 billion with offshore sportsbooks and in excess of $10 billion through local bookies and organized crime operations here in Canada.

Passage of Bill C290 gives Canadians a legal, regulated alternative that keeps economic benefits in Canada.
