Thank you for your question.
Once again, I want to thank the Standing Committee on Health for your work on this issue. What the family of Athéna Gervais went through is clearly serious and one death is one too many. This raises serious concerns. That is why we took immediate action. We asked for a notice of intent to be published, which was done in March, to amend the act in order to limit the amount of alcohol in these sweetened beverages. Further, we are working closely with the provinces and territories on the regulation of alcohol. We have already held a teleconference with those officials to continue the discussion.
Be that as it may, let me clearly state that these beverages, which were in stores and were consumed, will no longer exist in the same form. We want the alcohol level to be reduced or, at least, for the containers to be changed to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.
