I think if the government pursues its approach to ensure that pricing isn't way out of whack with the underground economy, then perhaps they'll avoid that problem. That's essentially the point my colleague made. If they apply that logic to cannabis, then why not apply it to tobacco where we already know we have a thriving contraband market that the RCMP has already talked about, illegal factories in Canada that are pumping the illegal packages? Why not apply that logic to both products going forward?
