Thank you very much to my colleague for his question.
Basically, he's given himself the answer to his question. There is a process to go through. As you said, this is just a recommendation. Why bother doing it if there is already a process in place to go forward?
As I said, I do actually respect what the member is trying to do, but I think I've put my reasons on the table for why I will be abstaining from it. But thank you very much for the question.

Can I make a friendly amendment? I think there's a way to combine the two.

If people are comfortable with that, the motion is that the committee recommend that the minister announce a new set of picture warnings for cigarette packaging on or before Monday, January 17, 2011, to mark national non-smoking week.
I think if we could insert it at top of Mr. Dosanjh's motion, that would be my recommendation.

Okay, good, that's your recommendation.
Mr. Dosanjh, do you want to speak to that?
