I thank the witnesses for their contributions. The essence of all this is how fast the issues and whole range of problems are changing and how online gambling has become the big problem we want to try to tackle. Is it going to be possible, even in the context of all this, to address that problem directly the way we need to address it?

The fact is that it is global, international and cross-border. We can have legislation here but very often, people who go online could be gambling with a particular entity that is not based here and not covered by our rules and regulations and all of that. What are the witnesses' views in respect of that? What can be done to ensure we do not find that we are just "Mickey Mousing" around the edges and not getting to the core of the problem? Would anyone like to respond to that? I see Mr. Grant nodding his head.
