So the minister's recommendations, or rather his directions, are there for whatever. Okay.
My first question has to do with aboriginal youth. I read somewhere in the background documents that aboriginal youth are more inclined to seek out contraband tobacco than others might be. I'm wondering if the government's cessation of the aboriginal tobacco cessation strategy a year and a half ago has made any difference in that respect—you know, whether you've seen more or less, or whether a cessation program has been started up again that would be of assistance to those youth.
That's to whoever can answer the question; it may best be the RCMP, I'm not sure.
I'm interested in--fascinated by, truly--the amount of tobacco imported into the country from China. This may not be a question you can answer--if you can't, fair enough--but if we took all of the illegal or contraband tobacco that you know is out there, what percentage would be coming in from China? You were talking about containers full, really. Do you have any sense of how much is coming in? I guess there was a bit from South America, but it primarily seems to be China that you're speaking of. What percentage is coming in from China versus some of the sources that you've named in Canada?
I'd also like to know, when you talk about targeting the head of an organization--I understand the rationale behind that, and fair enough--does that mean the head of the criminal organization or the head of the person who is in charge of the tobacco part?
My last question--I know you probably won't have time to get to all of those, so short answers will be good ones, thank you--is with regard to the criminal organizations that you are talking about. Are any of those criminal organizations that have links outside of Canada? When I say outside of Canada, I think I really mean overseas, or outside of the Americas.
That's for anybody; just pick one up.
