I'd like to bring this meeting to order.
This is meeting 30 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. We're continuing our study of contraband tobacco.
We'd like to welcome, from the Canadian Coalition for Action on Tobacco, Mr. Rob Cunningham and François Damphousse; and from the Canadian Convenience Stores Association, Michel Gadbois.
The usual practice at this committee, as you probably know, is to allow an introductory statement of approximately ten minutes. We'll let all the witnesses have that privilege before we begin questions and comments.
If you're ready to begin, go ahead, sir.
