Canadian Official Comments on Online Casinos Effect

Canadian officials may just grow weary of the intense scrutiny of a clause in the proposed bill that really takes care of “housekeeping” matters. Those in the Canadian online casino industry are taking it seriously that a clause in the bill could be interpreted in a way that could potentially make internet gambling illegal in the country. Politicians and online casinos are weighing in on the issue, as well as the department Senior Counsel, Anouk Desaulniers. Desaulniers is firm on the point that the new clause is not meant to target the online gambling industry in any way put rather to address some deficiencies in the current bookmaking laws.

Desaulniers is not outspokenly against the online casino gambling industry, so there is no reason to believe that he has a hidden agenda in passing the new legislation, but at the same time, others may contend that he does not see the long-term potential effect that the clause could have if left up to the interpretation of others. That is the main concern of many who are protesting the clause. They are online casinos supporters who want to ensure that if the bill isn’t intended to affect the internet gambling industry that the lawmakers clarify that point prior to passing the legislation.

The former chief of police, Inkster, noted, the main agenda behind the recent attention that the online casino gambling industry has placed on this new clause. He remarks, “There is nothing inherently wrong with gambling or gaming, but it does attract bad people. That is why regulation is so important; not just regulation but crystal-clear regulation. I am here to reinforce the encouragement of my colleagues that amendments could be made to make the intent of the law clear.”

Desaulniers on the other hand contends that the clause within the new bill is clear as is because it would effectively modernize Canada’s Criminal Code – the intention of the act is to limit the ability of third parties to profit from wagers within the bookmaking industry.
