Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to bring up an issue that has been in the works for a long time. I have to answer to the questions being raised by my constituents, and it has to do with the questions that came up last year about the special licensing for Sunday opening. There have been lots of mistakes or misunderstanding about this. At the core of the issue is the fact that under the rules that the Liquor Board follows right now, they are allowed to give special permission to open operations on Sundays, but it's only for Grey Cup and whatever other cup falls on a Sunday. The point being, Mr. Chairman, that it's only for Super Bowl; sorry, Grey Cup and Super Bowl. The point being that there is a rule that allows it, but the rule doesn't make any sense. At least on two occasions the Minister made a commitment to look into this. The Minister has stated that he had communicated with the board. As far back as last fall, he gave a specific date on which the board was going to meet. So I wonder if the Minister could update the House as to what he has done to communicate it and what the response of the board has been. Thank you.
