Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
Thanks to every one of you for working so hard for so many years—in the case of Neil it's been 28 years—trying to rid our markets of these death sticks and cancerous products.
I especially want to thank Sam McKibbon for being here with his other friends and colleagues from the Northwestern Ontario Youth Action Alliance. I think folks are also here from the Eastern Ontario Youth Action Alliance and the Ottawa youth action alliance. When you launched your campaign Flavour...GONE! almost a year ago, I think it was really the key to moving all of us toward this point where we see a bill almost in its final stages. So I want to thank you very much.
One of the comments we've had from industry is that this bill will only make it worse for young people. In fact, I was quoting before from Imperial Tobacco. There's a certain other cigar owner in this country who has suggested that this bill won't do a thing and will only make it worse for young people. What do you say to that?
