It's very important to note, because I feel a very strong commitment to the Canadian tobacco farmers. As you know, our manufacturing facility is in the heart of the Delhi-Simcoe region, so I get to see the effects. What has happened is that they all looked forward to some kind of government buyout—which may not have been the answer, and I respect your government's wishes....
One thing I respect your government for is total transparency. When they came to the Minister of Agriculture and asked whether he was going to buy them all out, he said no and stopped it right in its tracks. But because the big industry is utilizing that as a whole to barter against them and almost have them sell at fire-sale prices, it's hurting the farmers.
Therefore, they're allowing these shipments, even though they're deemed illegal, to take place, because they're desperate, sir. They come up in the middle of the night with 24-foot trucks, sell their product for cash, and move on, as you would with marijuana or any other illegal activity.
