Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think the points that the honourable Member has raised are important ones for us to consider in terms of reaching a final decision. We have not reached a final decision on this. Part of the assessment that was required was the whole question of social impact as a result of the gambling that we're proposing. I think the advice that the honourable Member has given to us about assessing the existing impacts, for instance in Alberta, Manitoba or, for that matter, in the short-term in Nova Scotia, would be very helpful in terms of how we deal with this particular matter.
