Where is gambling strategy?
Dear Premier Graham,
I am sending you this note out of curiosity as to our conversation about your gaming strategy announcement, which I thought was to come forth roughly four to six weeks after the date we had a chat on Feb. 13 (of which I am most appreciative.)
I have been waiting with anticipation to hear the details of this folder, now moreso than ever, hoping for a dose of good news, as it seems to be catching on all around the Maritime Provinces except here in New Brunswick. The latest headline is out of Newfoundland, "Restricted hours ordered for N.L. video gambling." Quite impressive for their government's first move on video lottery addiction and associated grief it carries on some of those who cannot escape its grips.
I am by no means making any suggestions on how to run your office nor am I in any way, shape, or form, telling you how to do your job. I write only out of hope for a better tomorrow for people such as myself, who would very much like to see changes to the video lottery machines Act that would help us to begin to help ourselves re-enter society without fear of slipping back into that world. Yours most humbly,
TIMOTHY SMITH
