Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question this afternoon is for the Minister responsible for Municipal and Community Affairs. Last year, I raised a question about the fairness of lotteries, especially large-scale lotteries which cross boundaries and have substantial prizes attached to them. However, because of the percentage of licence fee established, they do not become economic and therefore people of the Northwest Territories miss out on the potential benefits of these lotteries, and also being able to contribute to worthy causes such as the Canadian Cancer Society. I would like to ask the Minister, Mr. Speaker, what progress he is making on reviewing this situation with large-scale lotteries that cross our boundaries? Thank you.
