Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. It is with regard to the lottery licensing and the selling of Nevada pull tickets. The group or agency I am talking about is the Midway Lake Music Festival who have a fundraising draw and have bingos every Saturday. Part of their process is that they sell Nevadas. The have been told that they are not allowed to sell Nevadas at the radio station where the bingos are being held. It seems like there is a question regarding policy. I would like to ask the Minister if she can tell me if there is a possibility of some flexibility with regard to the policy, especially these days with the cutbacks to institutions such as music festivals and agencies like that who have to raise their own funds. This is possibly one of the only means they have. It is a process that communities have, for years, been using to raise money. Now they are being told they cannot. Is there a possibility for some flexibility in the policy?
