Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Right now, nicotine is considered a natural health product, although I consider it a hard drug, given that it is toxic and incredibly addictive. So it has a negative effect on people's health.
Nicotine replacement products are currently subject to the Supplementary Rules Respecting Nicotine Replacement Therapies Order, adopted on August 9, 2024, as a result of their insertion into the provisions of Vanessa's Law.
I believe that, given how dangerous they are, these products shouldn't be removed from the list of products subject to the same laws and regulations as drugs.
Do you agree with the amendment I want to propose so that the provisions of Bill C‑368 do not apply to nicotine replacement products?
