I would like to thank the witnesses for being here this morning.
The issue of contraband tobacco is a very complex one. The bill is one thing, but the entire problem of tobacco smuggling is another.
I found one thing fascinating in your presentations, especially those of Ms. Doucas and Mr. Grant. Both of your organizations are called coalitions, but if I understand correctly, you don't exactly have the same interests in this regard. Let's just say that I would not invite both of you to supper at the same time, unless I wanted a bit of excitement.
Mr. Grant, I'm trying to understand something about the people who are part of your coalition.
Am I correct in assuming that you have in your coalition a lot of the industry that produces the tobacco, that sells the legal tobacco?
