David Wells speaks Thursday during a Senate session in Ottawa on behalf of C-218, a bill that would legalize single-game sports betting in the country. The debate is set to resume Monday on the bill. (Image: Senate of Canada)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">Monday also starts the final week of the Senate\u2019s session before it adjourns for the summer. There\u2019s been speculation that the Canadian government will look to dissolve Parliament before it reconvenes in September and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/as-canadian-sports-betting-bill-nears-passage-election-threat-lingers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">calls for new elections<\/a> in the fall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">The House of Commons, where the bill originated, is set to adjourn on Wednesday. If the Senate were to amend the bill, sponsored by MP Kevin Waugh (Conservative-Saskatoon-Grasswood), there likely would not be enough time to reconcile the bill before the break.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\"><strong>If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parl.ca\/LegisInfo\/BillDetails.aspx?Language=E&#038;billId=10866122\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">C-218<\/a> does not pass and Parliament is dissolved, the bill would have to start anew when the next Parliament convenes. It also means, with an exception detailed below, parlay betting would remain the only legal form of sports betting in Canada.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">The Senate session Monday is scheduled to start at 2 pm ET.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"NewNormal\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One_Amendment_Voted_Down\"><\/span>One Amendment Voted Down<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">Nearly two weeks after the Senate Banking, Trade, and Commerce Committee passed the bill, the third and final reading before the full body finally started on Thursday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">Three hours of debate took place that afternoon and evening, with members voting down an amendment \u2013 24-38, with 10 abstentions \u2013 that would have inserted language making match-fixing schemes illegal in Canada. Opponents of the amendment said that the Canadian Supreme Court has ruled that match-fixing is covered under the country\u2019s fraud laws.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">The amendment that senators will likely have to vote on Monday would be one Sen. Mary Jane McCallum (Independent Senators Group-Manitoba) offered toward the end of the debate Thursday evening. She\u2019s seeking to include language that would allow indigenous tribes to participate in offering single-game sports betting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">It\u2019s an issue the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake has raised as the bill has moved along. The Kahnawake, one of Canada\u2019s First Nations groups, has operated a single-game sports betting app for years. However, Kahnawake\u2019s leaders fear provinces would exclude their app, which is currently available in Canada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">McCallum said the Kahnawake have operated under suspicions from others that its app is illegal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">Kahnawake takes no issue with the code being amended to allow for this new gaming activity,\u201d she said. \u201cKahnawake does, however, take issue with Parliament\u2019s ongoing failure to amend the code to reflect and accommodate the Aboriginal right held by Indigenous communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">At the Banking Committee hearing earlier this month, Senators said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/canadian-committee-to-report-single-game-sports-betting-bill-to-senate\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an amendment would likely derail the bill\u2019s chances<\/a> of passing in a timely manner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">On Thursday, Sen. David Wells (Conservative-Newfoundland and Labrador) indicated that what companies or groups would be allowed to operate legal single-game sports betting would be up to the individual provinces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">\u201cI don\u2019t want this to be overcomplicated in any way,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is a bill that allows single-event sports betting. Any of the structures around regulatory platforms and the operation of gaming in a province is only associated with this bill in a tertiary way, but not the focus of this bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"NewNormal\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Canadian_Sports_Betting_Market_Breakdown\"><\/span>Canadian Sports Betting Market Breakdown<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\">The single-game sports betting bill enjoys broad-based support from the major professional sporting leagues that operate in Canada, as well as from the Canadian Gaming Association.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\"><strong>With a national population of about 37.6 million, roughly equivalent to California, legalizing sports betting would open up several new markets for sportsbooks currently operating in the US.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"NewNormal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/thescore-ceo-says-company-in-pole-position-for-canadian-sports-betting\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Score Media and Gaming<\/a>, a Toronto-based company that operates a popular Canadian sports news app and sportsbooks in four US states, has estimated Canada\u2019s online sports betting market could generate up to US $5.4 billion in gross gaming revenue.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/debate-on-canadian-sports-betting-bill-likely-to-resume-monday\/\" target=\"_blank\">Debate on Canadian Sports Betting Bill Likely to Resume Monday<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\" target=\"_blank\">Casino.org<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Canadian Senate is expected to resume debate Monday on C-218, the bill to legalize single-game sports betting in the country.
