We have received complaints around tobacco and aboriginal spirituality. One of the issues we dealt with, for example, was a decision to allow a tobacco pouch as a gift to an elder. Then, no matches were allowed to complete a smudge. We do continue to receive complaints. Again, we are trying to find a balance between enforcing the Correctional Service of Canada's tobacco-free policy, but also enforcing their policy around access to aboriginal spirituality.
