I'm not a hundred per cent convinced that this necessarily is working in contradiction to what's written in that document. You have to remember that under the Excise Act, 2001 there is a regulatory regime that allows for the obtaining of permits and authorizations to manufacture, to possess for the purpose of selling, and so on and so forth. This is all done through the Excise Act and through the Canada Revenue Agency and, I guess, the Department of Finance. But if a group of individuals wish to get involved in the legitimate manufacture, sale, and distribution of a tobacco product, they can work it through that regime.
