Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand that some of the special events come very quickly, but I do know the board had at least a week to consider this application.
The other side of the concern is that one of the operators in Yellowknife did not get a response until Friday night for something that was supposed to happen on Sunday. I am talking about giving enough notice so there can be some leeway for operators to respond.
Would the Minister commit to relaying that information to the board? I think it should be both ways. People should be expected to apply as soon as possible and the board should respond as soon as possible.
