The amount of contraband has very clearly gone down. Even the tobacco companies acknowledge that internally. However, they have started a public relations campaign so that the government mainly draws attention to contraband and nothing else. We aren't saying the problem has been eliminated; the problem still exists. It's impossible to know directly how big the contraband market is because contraband cigarette manufacturers obviously don't provide that information to the authorities. In the 1990s, the three big tobacco product manufacturers acknowledged their guilt and said that they were feeding the contraband market.
That said, it is important to look at the indirect indicators. Take the Government of Quebec's last budget. Its revenues have increased considerably since 2008. With respect to projected revenue from tobacco taxes, the losses have decreased significantly. That clearly means that there has been a shift from the contraband market to the legal market. What happened? The situation can be attributed to the measures taken by the federal government and the governments of Quebec and Ontario.
As Mr. Cunningham said, it is a comprehensive approach that requires a number of measures. I gave a list of all the measures that were put in place in the 2000s by the governments of Quebec and Ontario alone. It's a long list and the measures are working.
