Cardus continues to support the creation of a national framework on sports betting advertising. We share similar recommendations for how to strengthen Bill S-211 as we did with the prior Bill S-269.

Cardus continue d'appuyer la création d'un cadre national sur la publicité des paris sportifs. Nous formulons des recommandations similaires à celles que nous avions formulées pour le projet de loi S-269 afin de renforcer le projet de loi S-211.

Our recommendations address the following areas: supporting more families with child care costs, expanding support for independent education, reviewing post-secondary education funding to better serve working-class Albertans, redirecting gambling revenues to addiction relief programs, limiting the expansion of online gambling, increasing investments in palliative care for adults and children, and promoting employment for people with criminal records.

Cardus supports the creation of a national framework on sports betting advertising. Our core position is that sports betting advertising should be treated similarly to alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis advertising, reducing exposure to these products for those most at-risk.
