I would like to talk to you now about a solution that has been tried. I confess that I do not remember whether it was implemented or not, but I do remember that it was discussed at one point.
The idea would be to have the duty on cigarettes collected once they are manufactured. As a result, the price of cigarettes would be the same on our common lands, so as to discourage people from buying cigarettes at lower prices on one part of our common lands. However, all the duties collected on cigarettes purchased by aboriginals would be given to the community. I believe Mr. Chevrette, the former Minister of Aboriginal Affairs in the Quebec government, wanted to suggest this solution. I do not know whether such a plan ever worked.
Can you tell me that?
