In regard to the one item relating to tobacco and tobacco products that is covered in the statute, and this is in subclause 4(2), which discusses the ignition propensity, I just wanted you to perhaps clarify that.
The Tobacco Act covers items relating to health, and it was in fact the Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations that has requested that the department look at and deal with the safety aspects relating to tobacco and tobacco products. So when I referred to safety, it would include things like ignition propensity, which are often referred to as fire-safe cigarettes. This is deemed to be a safety issue and not a health issue and therefore outside the scope of the act.
The standing joint committee has requested that those regulations currently enacted under the Tobacco Act be moved under the Hazardous Products Act. In fact we are just carrying over that request to Bill C-36 so that we will have the ability to deal with the one aspect in response to the standing joint committee and to continue to have legally binding requirements for fire-safe cigarettes in Canada.
