Kevin Waugh, Conservative MP for Saskatoon-Grasswood and Chair of the Conservative Saskatchewan Caucus, is backing the legalization of single-event sports betting throughout the country by sponsoring a bill intended to allow such bets.
Filled on February 25, the bill aims to revoke paragraph 207(4)(b) of the Canadian Criminal Code and ensure gambling operators can offer wagering on a single sports event or athletic contest. At the moment, the aforementioned Law allows betting only if the ticket comprises at least three games.
