That is a very good question.
From our understanding, in discussions with the RCMP, the contraband or illegal trade of tobacco has been infiltrated by organized crime. They have also infiltrated the reserves and in many ways control the trade on reserves as well. It is an issue that security and police forces across the country have identified to us.
On reserves, certainly within the treaty rights of first nations people to control tobacco on reserve, we are not here to dispute that. Our concern is that, as the tobacco products come off reserve, they no longer have that protection, and they should comply with all of Canada's taxes and tobacco control regulation.
