| b) | in consultation with the Minister, may- |
| i) | engage with that authority in staff exchanges or secondments; or |
| ii) | provide technical assistance or expertise to that authority. |
| 2) | At the request of the Member of the Executive Council or provincial licensing authority, the board may engage with that authority in co-operative activities to detect and suppress illegal gambling activities if there are good grounds to believe that those activities may be occurring across provincial boundaries. |
| 3) | At the direction of the Council, the board must engage with any relevant provincial licensing authority in co-operative activities to detect and suppress illegal gambling activities occurring- |
| a) | across provincial boundaries; or |
| b) | entirely within a particular province, if, in the opinion of the Council, the provincial licensing authority is unable to suppress that activity on its own. |
| 4) | The board may liaise with provincial licensing authorities on matters of common interest. |
| 5) | The board may request any provincial licensing authority to submit any report or information related to the activities of that licensing authority to the board. |

| b) | the board concludes, on reasonable grounds, that the provincial licensing authority is unable to perform any such function effectively, |
the Minister must consult with the responsible Member of the Executive Council of the relevant province to determine the steps to be taken to ensure the fulfilment of that statutory obligation.
