I see that our time is really short. You all said yes to the very relevant questions asked by my colleague Mr. St. Amand. You acknowledged that smoking causes serious diseases among your people and among our people. If there is more disease among your people, the reason is generally because the people smoke more because the cigarettes are cheaper. We could start from the premise that there is a health problem that we all acknowledge, but that we should start over, set aside politics—we can see whether there are some viable initiatives to be considered—and work together on the health problem that affects all us. We can also work together on the problem of enforcing the law and the trade in these goods.
