Certainly I'm very well aware of the problems associated with contraband tobacco. This is an area where part of the message I think we have to get across to Canadians is that they have to be cognizant of the fact that people who are dealing with contraband tobacco are often involved in other illegal activity. Certainly the activities of organized crime in relation to contraband tobacco and illicit drugs are a very, very serious concern.
We have been involved in a number of joint operations--no pun intended--and I just read recently a report about seizures and arrests that were made in January that involved thousands of cartons of cigarettes and thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal drugs and cash. So we are having some success, including, by the way, in working with other partners, including aboriginal police forces.
The situation in places such as Akwesasne were certainly very much front and centre in the consideration that led to the pilot project that took place last summer, which I referred to earlier, one of the Shiprider pilots. We also did a pilot on the west coast of British Columbia. I think that was a very successful joint activity that reduced the illicit traffic across the border between Canada and the United States. But I would say we've only touched the tip of the iceberg.
