Mr. Speaker, I have to admit I'm not familiar enough with the new lottery regulations. In 2004 our Department of Municipal and Community Affairs along with Sport North and the Department of Justice, completed a review of the Lottery Act and regulations and the new regulations will govern how the program will be conducted. The Member is correct; right now the control of the sports lotteries are controlled by Sport North. The new sports council is being formulated. We have set up an implementation team. They are defining the nomination process and council selection that's taking place this month. We're hoping to have our first AGM for the sports council in April of this year. As part of their responsibilities we're hoping that they're going to lay out a resource management plan which will include a lot of this stuff following the lottery and support for the lottery and how they're going to increase their revenues. But I don't have the details on the actual regulations with me at this point, so I'd have to get back to the Member on that issue.
