Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to make a short comment. As the Member for Range Lake in Yellowknife, I was one of the Members who was contacted by members of the general public who had learned, by a visit from the liquor inspector, that something they had been doing for a long, long time to raise money for a social cause was deemed to be illegal. I believe it had to do with the raffling off of a turkey for Easter in one of the licensed premises in my riding.
I am in complete agreement with the purpose and spirit of this legislation and the fact that something that everyone believed to be something very benign and a legal act was deemed to be illegal, and this will now make everyone law-abiding citizens.
I would just like to state my support for this legislative amendment and also thank the Minister and his staff for moving quickly to correct what appeared to be a legislative gap or misunderstanding in the legislation. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
