—so we are moving forward in the area of sodium reduction.
In the area of tobacco, it was this government that introduced the legislation. My first legislation was to deal with big tobacco marketing their products to children. That legislation was passed, and we have seen a significant reduction in young people smoking in this country. It's the lowest it's ever been. We're quite proud of that, and we continue to move forward in tobacco warning labels.
As an example, we are working with the provinces and territories to combat this issue. These are the collective efforts of provinces and territories in reducing smoking by our young children.
In the area of evidence-based HIV...I think the initiatives that we have undertaken—in partnership, again, with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—are to pull together the experts in developing a vaccine. After 25 years of doing research in areas of HIV, we were concerned that the investments we were making were not resulting in the production of an HIV vaccine. So in partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, we pulled together the experts, to focus the experts and the resources we have, in coming up with a vaccine. This is, again, an innovative way of dealing with and moving forward in addressing the issue of developing a vaccine for HIV/AIDS.
