Thank you for your question. First of all I want to make it clear that whenever we develop a policy and legislation, we ask ourselves if it complies with our international trade obligations. We did this in the case of bill C-32. I think that NAFTA and the former GATT recognize that there are exceptions for valid reasons, such as health and safety concerns.
Given all of the evidence we have of the damage caused to children and adolescents by tobacco, in my opinion—and according to experts in that domain—the measures contained in this bill are justified.
