Justice committee  Okay, you'll get it. It's on our website as well.

Justice committee  That's a study we commissioned. It was done about two or three years ago by—

Justice committee  Oh yes, Ontario is the largest, with about $40 million allocated to the study and treatment of problem gambling. That's more money than any other jurisdiction anywhere in the world. The issue is taken very seriously. Having said that, the interesting thing is that when you measu

Justice committee  Across the country it's more than $100 million on an annual basis.

Justice committee  It's not a rule; it's an average of what occurs when you have people who are interested in a single event, whether it's the Super Bowl or tonight's hockey game. They've studied the teams, and they're not betting with the heart. They take a look at the line and then they place the
