Alberta minister expresses desire to imitate Ontario model on gambling control

Alberta keeps moving forward steadily in the direction of a regulated internet gaming market. Further details regarding the province's plans to implement legalized gambling were provided in a presentation by the Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction. He was adamant that preventing gambling-related harm must remain a top priority, even though this action should greatly boost Alberta's economy.

The minister insisted that business owners would be given an equal opportunity to obtain a market niche and that the government of Alberta would take the appropriate steps to prevent conflicts of interest. He highlighted Ontario as an example of well-executed gambling legislation and made comparisons between the two provinces.
