Henriksson admitted he was “preach- ing to the choir” He said that one of the biggest dif- ficulties in dealing with the gambling issue isa lack of available data on the subject. “HfL go out to UBC and find out everything on alcoholism) and drug addiction, Ml have enough material to fill two rooms this (coun- cil chambers) size.” said Henriksson “If 1} do the same for gambling, there will probably only be enough to fit in Mayor Loucks’ desk.” Coun. Bill Bell also clarified his position on the issue stating that he does not support gambling when he criticizes the process undertaken by the council, He went on to say that his opposition focuses on the “ad hoe” nature of the bans being passed by individual municipalities rather than one provincial policy.
