Thank you, Madam Chair.

If the Nordiques come back to Quebec City, I want to know before anyone else. I'll have bets on that.

My question is for Mr. Melia.

I understand that the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport covers a number of sports, not just hockey, for example.

I would like to hear your views on the issue of including horse racing betting in Bill C-218.

There is a debate right now. Some would like to see horse racing bets excluded and others think they should be treated the same as any other sports bet.
