Were Canada to use the Code to keep foreign Internet betting operators from accessing Canada’s betting market, while allowing the Kahnawake Mohawks to benefit from the betting activities of non-Canadians, itwould not be in breach of its obligations under GATS, as Canada has explicitly excluded all entertainment-related services from its GATS commitments. However, such a policy shift could well result in bilateral trade disputes with countries that license Internet betting, including countries with whom Canada has important trade ties, i.e. Australia & the U.K. and others.
Course of Public Policy for Canada and Online Gambling. Combination of open area of law dealing with application of criminal law in Internet context, and complications added by Canada’s obligations under international trade law, it is doubtful that Canada will come down hard on Internet gambling as the U.S. has done. Barring major policy change, the authorities will not be cracking down on Internet gambling based in offshore jurisdictions
