Françoise Boivin at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I will be brief, Mr. Chair.

I have a quick question for you, Inspector Cormier. Earlier I asked Mr. Leckey a question, and he said the statistics on contraband tobacco show an increase. Does the RCMP agree with this assessment? Have contraband activities increased? Last Tuesday a representative from the Coalition québécoise pour le contrôle du tabac appeared before the committee and told us that the statistics show a decrease in contraband activities.

So I'm trying to figure out what the facts are. You should know since you are investigating on the ground.
