Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I understand that the amendment proposed by Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada and yours are different. The purpose of the amendment by Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada is to create two classes of tobacco products: those before and those after January 2009. For that reason, I won't go back to it for the moment.
I'm going to come back to your proposed amendment. Subclause 4(1) of Bill C-6 reads as follows:
4.(1) This Act applies to consumer products with the exception of those listed in Schedule 1.
So there's a list. As for subclause 4(2), it reads as follows:
4.(2) This Act applies to tobacco products as defined in section 2 of the Tobacco Act but only in respect of their ignition propensity.
I wonder why you want to put this item in the schedule since it's already excluded. I want to understand the nuance. You seem to be telling me that it isn't the same thing as if this element were in Schedule 1. And yet you word it exactly the same in the schedule. I want to understand why it's different in your mind.
