Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
On the distribution angle, reading through the material here--and that's why I kind of alluded to it with your association and 31,000 stores--it takes an awfully large distribution to be able to distribute the amount of product being made. Rather than looking at the distribution or the retailing of it, I have a question on it. If this were happening in any other part of Canada, where the manufacturing was done in Canada, it would be shut down in a heartbeat. The real problem seems to be tracking the product, the tobacco, into the U.S. territory and back again as a finished product. So the problem really seems to be the porous border.
If you have a porous border, how much emphasis is being put on the United States cleaning up the border, or is there anything we can do on a reserve that has a border down the middle of it? Is the real difficulty here the geography of the situation? You really have an identifiable, or uncontainable, porous border down the middle of the reserve. Is that what's being taken advantage of?
