I'll pick up where Mark left off, I guess, in regard to the comments that were made earlier.
I hope we're not seeing a blueprint for all of our small farming communities here. If we continue in this direction, it seems to me what we're seeing here we will see all over rural Canada. Obviously, we have to do something.
That's simply a comment I couldn't help thinking about.
The other thing is, and James touched upon this, obviously people are still smoking. Rothmans and those companies aren't shutting down production. The fact that they've stopped buying from producers in Quebec doesn't mean they've gone out of the smoking business.
I was talking to a duty-free person in my riding and he was telling me that if the companies leave Canada, he will have to buy from Mexico and it would cost him more.
