Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank Ms. Priddy for bringing this issue forward--it's an important issue--but I'm wondering if this is the correct way to approach the work of the committee. We decided in this committee we weren't going to have a steering committee but we would set the work plan based on the committee as a whole.
I know I have some pet projects. One I'm supporting Mr. Ménard on is the question of contraband tobacco products. I think it's an enormously huge problem, which we need to look into.
So rather than deal with motions, and then the first person to get their motion in is the lucky one, I'd rather deal with it on the basis of a work plan that we can all agree to and we can go forward with.
I'm not denying that it's an important issue, but I think there are other important issues as well, and as a committee as a whole we should perhaps decide where we go from here, and the next steps.
