I'd like to thank the Minister for that information. I'm not saying it's a bad idea or a good idea, I think it's appropriate if the information is factual. The public should be aware of the laws in our Criminal Code. I find this particular document interesting because it states that illegal gambling is a felony offence. To my knowledge, "felony offences" is a term used in the United States of America. In Canada, we have indictable offences and summary offences. I wonder if the Minister is considering changing our Criminal Code Act to allow felony offences in Canada?
