I want to once again impress on everyone that this matter of tobacco is urgent. If we can convene this meeting without our being the conveners--somehow have the minister convene this meeting--I would be happy to absolve us of that responsibility, but it may take this meeting to get the next meeting going. We're running out of time. It's incumbent upon us to show leadership here.
