Thank you, Chief Deer.
Thank you for the question.
As is contained in the written submissions from the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake, the proposed amendment is quite simple. It would be an addition to subsection 207(1). That subsection reads in part:
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Part relating to gaming and betting, it is lawful
—and this is where the province has its carve-out. What the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake would propose is the addition of the words “for an Indigenous governing body to conduct and manage a lottery scheme pursuant to the terms of an agreement with the Government of Canada”.
