Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Safety and Public Services. In the May 19, 1995 payroll envelopes, government employees received a consumer alert release from consumer and corporate affairs, a section of Safety and Public Services. This gist of this consumer alert is that, "Section 206 of the Criminal Code of Canada prohibits gambling activity in Canada, subject to what provinces and territories are allowed to do under section 207." The last part of the consumer alert document says, "The commercial crime section, RCMP, reminds you that illegal gambling is a felony offence." I would like to ask the Minister of Safety and Public Services, did he, his office or someone in the RCMP approve this consumer alert document for distribution?
