Canada's federal standing committee on Canadian heritage is scheduled to vote next week on Bill S-211, legislation aimed at limiting the volume of gambling advertising during sports broadcasts, social media and online video games. The move comes alongside new data showing rising rates of problem gambling and gambling-related suicides in Ontario, and a CBC-Bristol University analysis finding two to three gambling ads per minute during NHL playoff broadcasts.
