Opinion: The risk of not acting is real. The timing is urgent. The federal government should use the March 19 budget to make this happen
For a government that wants to do anything and everything possible to secure Canadian jobs, amending legislation to allow for single-game sports betting seems like the biggest no-brainer of them all. It costs the federal government nothing; it protects consumers by channelling current unregulated gaming into a regulated environment; it channels revenue, currently leaving the country, to the provincial governments and toward government programs; and most importantly, it protects and creates jobs.
Sports betting in Windsor will add 150 jobs to the casino. There are over 300 gaming venues in Canada. Moving forward to regulate this industry could add 1,000 to 2,000 or more jobs across the country. This is not just a Windsor issue, this is a Canadian issue. According to Legal Sports Report, there are now over 120 sports betting bills that have been filed in more than 30 U.S. states.
