Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, also the Minister responsible for lottery revenues in the territory. I know my colleague was talking about winning a billion dollars or if he had a billion dollars, but...The questions I had for the Minister I just wanted to understand a little bit about the lottery revenues here in the Northwest Territories. As I understand it, Sport North controls the lottery booths that are here in Yellowknife. I've heard from many people in Yellowknife that access to these lottery booths, and it's a past-time for many northerners to play the lottery, to buy tickets, and they close the booth at 6:00. If you're in southern Canada you can go into many convenience stores and buy tickets around the clock. I'm wondering, is there a way that we can increase lottery revenues to the organizations that need it by increasing the length of time that these booths are open. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
