Many thanks to the @ottawacitizen.com and the @cmaj.ca for their story today on the dangers of pervasive gambling promotion, and to Dr. Kelly for sharing his story. My legislation Bill S-211 aims to create a national framework around these ads, which prioritizes protection over profits.

Grateful to be in Amsterdam as we proudly remember the liberation of Apeldoorn by the 5th Canadian Armoured Division in April 1945, 80 years ago. Looking forward to the annual Aprilfeesten and the upcoming King's birthday as well! And as always, the tulips are welcome this time of year.

It was an honour to give the opening address at the @coe.int Macolin Community Conference in Ottawa this week. The explosion of online gambling & promotion has increased the odds of match manipulation at every level of sport. More collaboration with our international peers to counter this threat.

The values of sport, its power to unite, build & connect makes me proud to congratulate Kristy Coventry as the 10th President of the IOC. An olympic swimmer from Zimbabwe & the first woman to hold this position; the future for our athletes and coaches will be bright worldwide.
