What Bill No. 69 entails and whether or not you can get a sportsbetting license

To vote on a controversial initiative, the Canadian parliament had to debate for hours and went through some tense moments before voting on it. The debate was very intense, but in the end it passed with 57 out of 70 votes. With five abstentions present, the bill won by a landslide of more than two-thirds.
