Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Hay River Ski Club has received proceeds from lotteries in Hay River for over 30 years. Those Hay River retailers, knowing the importance of sport and the ski club, intended the financial support would continue indefinitely. I would have expected that this government would have acknowledged that and grandfathered the ski club into receiving ongoing annual financial support.

Mr. Speaker, will the Minister explain to me if the Hay River Ski Club and lottery retailers were properly informed of the required changes prior to entering into the five-year agreement? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
