Ms Carol Boate:

I have asked that exact question of the operator. It does not have any direct impact. Camelot in the UK and Premier Lotteries Ireland share an owner. I tend to think of them as sister companies. They both have the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan as an owner so it does not have any direct impact. There is also a company called Camelot Lottery Solutions, which is a separate company that provides games and other services and designs websites for lotteries. That is one of the suppliers to our national lottery. I wanted to make sure the arrangements will not be impacted.

Are there clean lines between who is doing what and where the responsibilities are, and no blurring of the lines? I understand that is the case, and it is being checked. The CEO has assured me that he is checking to make sure that is all perfectly clear before the sale goes through, if it does.
