23-Mar-07. Oka fear won't affect gambling ruling. Edmonton Sun, 28.

Alberta Solicitor General Fred Lindsay says he won't let the threat of a crisis stop him from shutting down an Alberta native band's online gambling business before it gets started. The Criminal Code of Canada forbids gambling operations not licensed by government. Alexander First Nation Chief Ray Arcand said the province has no jurisdiction over the sovereign Alexander First Nation.
