The Ontario Task. Force on Off-Track Betting
stated, in its report to the Government of
Ontario in 1972, that the objectives of an
off-track betting system should be to:
• suppress or, at least, reduce illegal
bookmaking
• provide a service to the public
• assist the hoise racing industry
• provide government revenue
The Horse. Racing Industry Committee for
Off-Track Betting* agrees with the Ontario
Task. Force and believes that a good system
of off-track betting would:
• substantially reduce illegal bookmaking
on horse racing
• give the public a service that it wants
• give Ontario the best thoroughbred and
standardbred horse racing in the world
• benefit the residents of Ontario by
providing the provincial government with
millions of dollars in additional tax revenue
The announced policy of the Government of
Ontario is to introduce such an off-track.
betting system and Ontario has requested
the co-operation of the federal government
in passing legislation to facilitate the
implementation of this policy.
If you would like to see federal legislcition
passed to permit Ontario to have a properly
supervised system of off-track betting,,
