Madam Speaker, certainly I have said quite clearly that I am not in favour of lotteries being included in the formula because of the incentive it gives to governments to try to raise those revenues.
I also have a question with regard to casinos that are going to be on our aboriginal reserves. How does this work into the formula?
Part of the problem is that it gets so complex and convoluted that it is difficult to work with. It may be okay for government actuaries and accountants, but the problem is that the average Canadian has to understand how this works because it is his or her money that is being thrown around by governments. That is why I would like to see a much simpler formula. I thank the member for his question.
