Federal sports betting advertising bill sent for final House of Commons discussion with amendments

Key Takeaways On Nov. 3, the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage approved an amended version of legislation that would establish a national framework on sports betting advertising. Bill S-211 is now set to return to the full House of Commons for final discussion before ultimately a final vote. It already passed the Senate last year. The bill is supported by politicians from various parties, as well as mental health and addiction organizations, but received pushback from the likes of the Canadian Gaming Association and the Alberta government.
