Sir, I'll respond to that question.
What is being proposed here is a new regime for the stamping of tobacco products. I'm not a smoker, but if you look at a tobacco package, there is a ribbon that goes around it and some words that are required to say “Canada duty paid”. These are intended to provide a sign that these are legitimate products and that all taxes have been paid. The problem is that these products have now become counterfeited. There are offshore manufacturers that are so sophisticated they can reproduce the product and it will look identical to a product that is legitimate.
What we're intending to do with this new regime is put in place a new mechanism for that stamp. The government itself has developed and will be issuing a new stamp. It will be responsible for the production and distribution, and there will also be specific possession requirements and limits on this new stamp. It's a new sophisticated stamp with both overt and covert security features. It'll be an additional tool for enforcement officials to help identify the counterfeit product from the legitimate product.
