Objects and Reasons
The object of this Bill is to increase the effectiveness of the Ordinance in respect of offences relating to clandestine lotto and foreign lotteries to introduce a legal presumption in the case of offences concerning clandestine lotto similar to presumptions already existing in respect of gaming offences under the Criminal Code and to make the possession of clandestine lotto or foreign lottery tickets subject to criminal sanction.
