My point is that it accidentally ended up here. I don't know why nicotine would be here when it could be more properly regulated under the same legislation that looks after tobacco and so on.
My recommendation would be to pass this bill in its current form and find a solution elsewhere to deal with nicotine, or something to that effect.
The reality is, Mr. Thériault, that the bill was only in my care and control up until I tabled it in the House of Commons. It is now the property of the House of Commons and this committee. I would recommend that we find a different way to do it.
I'm not suggesting that your concerns are invalid, but I would suggest that there are other places and other powers that the minister has. Bogging down the progress of Bill C-368 and stopping a $5.5-billion industry simply for nicotine pouches I think might be the wrong approach. I think there's a better way or another way to do it.
