The National Basketball Association has dropped its opposition to Canada’s bid to legalize single-game sports betting, but it’s a case of too little, too late.

On Monday, the Canadian Gaming Association (CGA) released a statement urging the Senate to pass the C-290 sports betting legislation they have so far declined to pass for the last three years. Parliament breaks for the summer next week and there’s an election in October, so any legislation that doesn’t pass will have to start over from scratch in the House of Commons.

The CGA release included the following “NBA Statement to the Senate of Canada’s Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee, June 2015:”

“Consistent with the NBA’s current position regarding legalizing sports betting in the United States, the NBA is no longer opposed to legalized sports betting in Canada as long as there is an appropriate legislative framework that protects the integrity of the game under strict regulatory requirements and technological safeguards.”
