I'm a lawyer, and I'm specialized and have done a lot of work in this area, especially because of the number of legal challenges to tobacco legislation. It's been recognized that health and tobacco are concurrent federal responsibilities. For provinces, when they've had legal challenges, they've been upheld. However, this bill would change things when there's a stronger federal standard. Depending on the facts, very often compliance with the weaker provincial standard would be sufficient. From our perspective, that's a problem.
