Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, last week I asked the Minister responsible for public service with respect to the policies his department uses for determining eligibility for lottery licences that are submitted. He indicated to me in his return to oral question, "Lottery licences may be issued to recreation or cultural committees set up by these organizations. When initial applications for licences are reviewed from such recreational or cultural committees, information on the membership on the committee is provided by the applicant and must not be restricted to a particular group of people." It goes on to state, "The Elks and Legion service clubs are open for membership to the general public." Mr. Speaker, I am somewhat concerned with the attitude with regard to the response is very general and broad. I would like to ask the Minister if he would make a commitment to have his department review the eligibility for licences which are submitted? Thank you.
